Summary
see also Tinnitus,
Vertigo
Meniere’s disease is an inner ear disorder usually
affecting one ear. Although it can affect those of any age
it usually affects those in in their 40s and 50s. Many times
it is progressive starting with vertigo (unbalance) and/or
tinnitus (ringing in the ears) attacks and progressing with
more frequent attacks and hearing loss. For some the
vertigo is severe enough to be debilitating with dizziness
and nausea.
The
cause is not known but is related to the structure of the
inner ear. The vestibular organ (also called the
semicircular canals) includes the endolymphatic sac and duct
that helps control the fluid in the inner ear that are key
to the body’s system of balance. It is believed that
Meniere’s disease results when the endolymphatic sac or duc
is inflamed, damaged, scarred, or deformed from birth or
this system of fluids is disrupted in other ways. Some
reasons noted that might cause such disruption include ear
infections, upper respiratory tract infection, or head
injuries. Also there is some connection to the herpes
virus, syphilis, multiple sclerosis, and thyroid disorders.

Experiences and Testimonials of others
Amelia - I have a
question...a family friend has severe Menier's disease...Do
any of you have any suggestions as to what oils should be in
the protocol for this?
Larissa - I had a client come to my
office (I am a natural health practitioner and I do
muscle-testing sessions) and she was complaining about her
Meniere's disease. I did find the problem was linked to her
Candida and other digestive problems.
So in light of that, I would have your friend start
cleaning out and strengthening her digestive system. Of
course since I know, use, and trust doTERRA body cleanse
products, I recommend them.
Rosemary - My husband has had problems
with his ears for years. The doctors cannot figure out
why the skin keeps rotting. We started putting
melaleuca on the back of his ear and ran our fingers down
his throat area. In the morning, the skin on the back
of his ears was cracked and yeast was all over his head and
hair. Yeast was the culprit!
Joy - My friend has been diagnosed with
this disease. She uses frankincense and when she feels an
attack coming on she puts it behind her ears.
Jan - My brother has this as does my
mom. I say has, and should say had. I gave them helichrysum
in front of the ear and along the jaw line and on the bone
behind the ear. Almost instant relief. The ringing goes away
and the dizziness stops. My brother used the helichrysum
when the ringing or pain started and just used a drop or two
on each side. He knew it was expensive but was thrilled with
the results. He called it his miracle in a bottle. He had
had no prior relief before he started the oils, even when on
prescription drugs for it. I will suggest the cleanse to him
as well.
