If you cut yourself, that cut will heal. If you stub your toe, it might feel bruised and inflamed but the inflammation will abate, and you’ll feel better pretty soon. Even a broken bone will heal if correctly set.
But what if you lose your hearing? Is it possible for the inner ear to heal? Can you get your hearing back? Can homeopathic treatments help that healing?
What is homeopathic medicine philosophy?
The basic concept is that homeopathic medicine is natural. You’re treating the whole person, according to this method, not just the illness. The basic idea is that the human body should repair itself. People who believe in this think the body will heal faster than normal if it receives the right encouragement.
What is homeopathic medicine made of?
The prefix “Homeo” means “like” and the basis of the word “pathy” means “disease”. So the term homeopathy means “like a disease”. The fact that a cure would be called “like a disease” may sound odd.”
But it’s called that because it uses compounds like nightshade and arsenic which would be unsafe in large amounts. Homeopathic advocates believe that by using these substances in minute quantities, a natural healing process is induced.
Some individuals believe in homeopathic remedies and others don’t. It isn’t something that you can easily convince people of either way. What we will deal with is why there are no homeopathic remedies for hearing loss.
Homeopathy might be harmless at best for other parts of the body but with the ears, it can actually cause considerable harm.
How hearing works
The inner ear is shaped like a snail shell, known as the cochlea. There are little hairs, called cilia, inside of this structure. These hair cells oscillate rhythmically with the sound waves that are produced when something makes a noise. Complex signals are transmitted to the brain as these hairs oscillate with incoming sound waves. The brain can decipher these signals to distinguish between a cat’s meow and a car horn. It can decipher whether someone said the letter “T” or the letter “D.”
There are thousands of these tiny hairs in your ears when you’re a newborn. But these hairs disintegrate as you get older and your ears are exposed to infections, loud sounds, and other risks. They bend, break, and die. Sound will no longer be received and transmitted by these dead hairs.
The most delicate hairs are the ones that pick up high frequency sounds like the chirping of birds or the voices of little children. So these are the first to go when your ears start to take damage.
When these hairs are destroyed, they don’t grow back or heal themselves — ever. That’s why safeguarding your hearing is so significant.
Homeopathy and Hearing
The body’s natural healing system is believed to be activated by homeopathic remedies. In the case of human hearing, there’s no natural healing process in place. When these hairs die, they never grow back.
