Herbs for Ears, Nose, Throat & Eyes

Ear, nose and throat are known as the triad-complex of human body, each of them playing an important biological role of their own. All these three important organs are situated within an inch of each other. Furthermore, they also compliment each other’s work and duties. Eyes, on the other hand, are the most important organs that help one to have a visual recording of all events. In all, all these four organs work in proximity with each other, in providing you a three-dimensional perspective of the world.
Unfortunately, like any other organs in the body, these vital organs also get infections; and are susceptible to allergies and other disease symptoms. For example, sinus cavities in your face are not only the filtering organs, but also the fine systems for warming the air before it is sent to lungs. These organs will also lighten your skull and act as audio chambers. Due to infections, allergies and reactions sinus may get blocked, which subsequently affects the entire face region.

Herbs can also act with equal vigor to provide you relief from painful ordeals of sinusitis, ear pain, ear infection and throat infections. Fortunately, herbs that work for nose, will also work and act with the same intensity and passion, on the other organs like ear and throat. However, treating eyes requires a considerable level of skill and knowledge.
