If you cut your leg, it heals. If you stub your toe, it might feel bruised and swollen but the inflammation will subside, and you’ll feel better pretty soon. Even if you break a bone, when properly set, it will mend.
But what if your hearing is damaged? Is it possible for the inner ear to heal? Can you get your hearing back? Can homeopathic remedies facilitate that healing?
What is the conceptual foundation for homeopathic medicine?
The basic thought is that homeopathic medicine is natural. You’re treating the whole person, according to this method, not just the ailment. The basic premise is that the human body should repair itself. Those who practice it think they are stimulating a natural healing process that lets the body heal quicker than normally possible.
What is homeopathic medicine made of?
“Homeo” means “like” and “pathy” has the word “disease” at its root. So the general meaning of homeopathy is “like a disease”. The fact that a cure would be called “like a disease” might seem strange.”
But it’s called that because it uses compounds like nightshade and arsenic which would be unsafe in large quantities. The idea is that by administering these kinds of substances, you stimulate a natural healing process.
Some individuals believe in homeopathic treatments and other people don’t. Normally, once a person forms an opinion about this, it’s hard to change their mind. We need to explore why homeopathic treatments don’t apply to hearing loss.
In contrast to other parts of the body where homeopathy might be harmless at best, with hearing, you can actually do substantial, lasting damage to your ears.
How hearing works
The cochlea, which is the name for the inner ear, looks like a snail shell. This structure has little hairs called cilia. When sound is produced, these little hairs will oscillate rhythmically. The manner in which these hair cells move transmits complex signals to the brain. The brain can interpret these signals to differentiate between a cat’s meow and a car horn. What letters and words are being spoken can also be distinguished.
When a healthy child is born, they have thousands of these little hairs. But these hairs decay as you age and your ears are exposed to infections, loud noises, and other hazards. They bend, break, and die. Sound will no longer be received and transmitted by these dead hairs.
The high-frequency hairs that can detect sounds like a violin solo, birds chirping, or the children playing are the most sensitive. So these are the first to go when your ears start to take damage.
Once these hairs are destroyed, they don’t grow back or heal themselves — ever. That’s why safeguarding your hearing is so important.
Hearing and homeopathy
The body’s natural healing system is believed to be activated by homeopathic remedies. But hearing loss doesn’t ever heal. These hairs won’t grow back.
