Earache: Use snake slough burned to ash but retaining its medicinal properties, ground into fine powder, and blown into the ear to treat pain caused by excessive wind. Blowing dried alum powder into the ear treats pain caused by wind-dampness. Alternatively, burning green bamboo leaves (Qingruo) to ash and blowing it into the ear is also effective. (*Jianbian Liangfang*)
Another method: Stir-fry white salt until hot, wrap in thick cotton cloth, and apply as a warm compress. (*Beiji Fang*)
Swelling, pain, and pus discharge in the ear: Grind one Strychnos nux-vomica (Fanmuxie) with water, and drip into the ear for immediate cure. (*Mifang Cuoyao*)
Ulceration of the ear: Best treated by blowing ash from Benzoin resin (Anxi Xiang) into the ear. First, use rolled cotton to extract toxic fluid from the ear; once the fluid is completely cleared, blow the powder three or four times for a cure. (*Qianshi Yanfang*)
Auricular hemorrhage (caused by fire in the Shaoyang meridian): Blow dragon bone powder into the ear; this is effective. (*Zhengzhi Huibu*)
Ear bi (obstruction/blockage in the ear): Dragon bone, musk, calomel, and dried alum (in equal parts), ground into fine powder and blown into the ear, results in a cure. (*Fangchao*)
Ear closure (blockage of the ear canal): Asarum (Xixin), Acorus tatarinowii (Shichangpu), and Akebia quinata (Mutong) (each 1 fen), and musk (1 li), all ground into fine powder, wrapped in cotton, and inserted into the ear for a cure. (*Qifang Leibian*)
Constant ringing in the ears: Cut fresh Rehmannia glutinosa (Shengdihuang), wrap in paper, roast over fire, and insert into the ear; replace multiple times. (Same source)
Tinnitus due to deficiency: Semen Crotonis (Badou) and Acorus tatarinowii (Changpu) (ground together), pine resin, and yellow rosin (mixed and formed into strips to be inserted into the ear); removal yields miraculous effects. (*Bencao Gangmu*)
Another prescription: Take a small amount of musk, fourteen whole scorpions, and fourteen mint leaves (wrap the musk and scorpions in the leaves, bake on a tile until dry), grind into fine powder, mix with drops of water to form pellets, and insert into the ear for extreme efficacy. (*Tujing*)
Deafness: Chew three pieces of high-quality new iron sheet in the mouth, plug both ears with good magnetite (Cishi), and sit quietly. The ears will suddenly ring and become clear; some are cured instantly, while others require sitting for several days. (*Mifang Jiyuan*)
Another prescription: Grind true northern Asarum (Beixixin) into powder, melt yellow beeswax to form pills the size of mouse droppings, wrap in cotton, and insert into the ear; effective after two or three applications. (*Zhongfutang Fang*)
Long-term deafness: Three blister beetles (Bantao, stir-fried), two taels of croton seeds (Badou, remove heart and skin), mixed with a little musk, formed into pills the size of jujube pits, wrapped in cotton, and inserted into the ear. Continue until slight ringing is heard and yellow fluid discharges. (*Zhengzhi Huibu*)
Cerumen impaction (Dinger): Human ears contain fluids; when mild, they cause no harm. However, if wind-heat binds with these fluids, causing them to congeal and block the ear forming a hard mass, it can lead to sudden deafness, known as Dinger. Grind fresh pig lard, earthworms (Dilong), and soot from the bottom of a cauldron (Fumo) (in equal parts) into fine powder, mix with green onion juice, shape into a jujube pit-sized pellet, wrap thinly in cotton, insert into the ear, and allow it to moisten before picking it out. (Same source)
Suppurative otitis (Nong'er): Heat enters the ear through deficiencies along the meridians, accumulating heat that does not dissipate, causing pus to discharge intermittently, known as Nong'er. Grind calomel, refined alum, red lead, dragon bone, musk, and clam shell powder into fine powder; use cotton-wrapped bamboo sticks to wipe the ear. Alternatively, grind white alum, carmine, and musk into powder and blow into the ear. (Same source)
Di'er: Crush wintergreen leaves (Dongqing Shuye) to extract juice, pour into the ear, allowing it to flow out naturally as it is poured; repeated applications can cure it. (*Xiashi Kanfang*)
Another prescription: Grind dried alum into powder, fill the ear, and effect is immediate. (*Tongshou*)
Ting'er: Caused by qi stagnation generating phlegm and internal fire attacking upward. The condition resembles red flesh, or may involve pus discharge and ulceration. Extract juice from Chinese chives (Jiucai) and drip into the ear three times daily. (*Shengmo*)
Another prescription: Dry the purulent fluid in the ear using cotton. Mix raw and calcined alum equally, grind into fine powder, blow a small amount into the ear, and cure after several applications. (*Jixiao Fang*)
Avulsion of the ear (Cheluo'er): Seal the wound with hot horse manure. If hot manure is unavailable, stir-fry it until hot and apply. Bind firmly and do not move; the tissue will regenerate and heal. If horse manure cannot be found, cow manure is also effective. (*Cunrentang Mi*)
