Almost 1 week into this persistent ear ache I reflect on the Functional Medicine model to aid in getting rid of the ear aches.

Typically I keep healthy by keeping  the body moving, having a mindfulness practice, eat well and find tings that make me happy.

I also focus on keeping inflammation suppressed.

I do not frown on taking medications. When indicated it compliments the natural therapy of good healthy living I employ 95% of the time.

Right now I've been on NSAID, antibiotics and steroidal ear drops to get rid of this ear ache.

I just can't seem to shake it though!

Frustrating!!!
