Thank you!
Thank you. The script helped a lot!
loubino18 Thank you!
Thank you for writing up this summary. It's really helpful. Only 1 thing --on Step 14 I have a feeling you mean to say 'hit like button'. It currently says to 'hit like bottom'. Thanks again.
@@mayachouraqui8121 - glad it helped!
I know this is an old video but I have to comment.I was diagnosed with eustachian tube disorder last year after years of ear and sinus problems.This is the only thing that has worked for me and I am so grateful for this video.Took about 4 days of doing this twice a day but my ear is now unclogged.I will be doing this exercise regularly from now on.Thank you so much Heather.
Is it still working Sarah ? I have been diagnosed with it too
@@nilatasoy8866 I now have a prescribed steroid nasal spray which I use every day and it has helped, I recently had covid which left me with a blocked nose but didn't block my eustachian tube as it normally would have done. I do these exercises occasionally if I feel a bit 'blocked up' and I still find them helpful.
quick question - did you concentrate on the side you were having trouble OR equally on the left and right hand sides?
My doctor has done everything for me except give me that diagnosis. Been on allergy injections for 2 years, tonsils and adenoids removed, 1 allegory pill and day and 2 different nasal sprays. Nothing helps 😭. I just want them to drill a hole in there so it can go away. 😢
@@Jessicamae1988 oh no dear please don’t do that. Find another provider
I really had a worse situation with my right ear clogged. I have been to the ENT specialist and found that some fluid is in the middle ear. I can hear echo in my head (several hundred times more than I speak). I found this video while surfing online. I am trying this from past 2 days and its like really magically working. Thanks a lot Heather Wibbels. I strongly recommend this for any of the people struggling with similar problems.
I’m having a similar issue currently. I know this is a older comment but, how have things been with the ear?
@@michael9659 Hey,seen you commented a day ago,it works trust me...I've had a middle ear infection for six weeks now,today is the only day I feel a whole lot better,please do it consistently,you will be fine...I. Getting back to normal..My ears were severely clogged...I just started last night
@@talkingourwayout4768 Thank you!
Plp
m
@@talkingourwayout4768 I've been dealing with mine for over a yr now!! The fluid got better & not so much pressure (no infection they say but idk because it itches at times) I still feel clogged & hear it popping at times. Im so annoyed at this point
Usually I suggest people do this 2-4 times a day for about a week to get everything moving. If there's an underlying cause generating the fluid accumulating in the ears, you'll want to check with your doctor to get it completely resolved. This will move out the fluid that accumulates, but won't stop it from being created by the body!
I had a tooth infection . it got scraped out now I'm left with my cheek a little swollen and ear is still muffled . :(
@@jenalyssa3430 Lord knows after sickness and I think tooth infection didn't help I had the ear muffled 4 a-month thank God found this video again because after doing this really helped hoping helps you thank God I can finally here again my clogged ear had caused my muffled hearing to
Thank you heather so much for the video second time had been here before for sinus this time was a muffled ear loss of hearing to drain fluid which was the right side of my head which had called it ear infection but think it was sinus ear and head cold infection which was really lymph drainage needed to clear it all out thank you again can hear praise God! Ear is unclogged was after finding this video after doing all the other ear videos
@@Marie-hx7cx I wonder how long you were doing this drainage method before your ear cleared up
@@jenalyssa3430 Lord knows this one,just yesterday! Praise God didn't realize how bad my sinus ear head congestion was really this lymph drainage that was needed even trying today make sure it keeps moving to clear up after all the sickness we had this past month and our household. Hoping you are better it took me weeks of trying the other stuff which didn't really help is why this lymph draining was amazing thank God answer the prayer 🙏 hoping works for you 🙏 feel better
I did this to my son and he went from crying pain to drainage and comfort in minutes. Thank you for sharing!
I've had lifelong problems with my ears, and doing this every day has changed my life. I feel like a kid again. It's amazing. Thank you!
Did you have dizziness?
@@Levi-nn8si I do and it has helped me a lot in the last 2 days of using it.
@@jessiegail25 my left ear stays clogged I have tried so much medicine and nothing works. I'm miserable
@@Levi-nn8si are you okay now is it Etd
@Levi218 my right ear stays clogged and nothing helps I just found this video. I hope this lymphatic massage is “safe” some say never ever do lymphatic massages but I am desperate here!
Heather I just realized that my whole life I have subconsciously done most of these movements on my own without having ever been taught. I compulsively do them whenever I sit down in my comfy chair or at a desk and concentrate on something engrossing, and I thought it was just a nervous habit of mine and my wife is always asking me what the heck am I doing? But having always had severe allergies since childhood I think my body already knew how to heal itself.
Me too!!
My right ear had been clogged for almost a month. I did this massage 3 times, I could feel the wax moving around, but it was still clogged after. I went to bed, woke up 5 hours later, and as I got up and walked to the restroom, my ear popped and opened up! Thank you!!!!!
Are your ears still fine?
@@karlinhahf yes, they clog up every now and then because of allergies but no major problems like that one time.
@@DizzyMissLucie thank you! My ears are clogged for 17 months now after Covid. Nothing helps!
@@karlinhahf I'm so sorry. I hope you get better soon.
@@DizzyMissLucie thank you my dear.
I really didn't think this would work lol. Over ten years later and you're still helping new people. Thank you so much for the relief!
I'm finding this way after it was first posted. I have eustachian tube dysfunction. Repeated ear/sinus infections, dizziness, and hearing loss. This video is a life saver. I've had incredible relief from these techniques. Even the ringing in my ears has lessened, and i've not been dizzy in more than a week. Heather Wibbels, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You helped me like two local ENTs could not!
Having a bad sinus infection, my ears were "congested" and i came across this video, several folks said 2 x a day for 4 days worked-- i had nothing to lose because this massage and pressure point felt good! Good enough i did it twice a day, and i'm on day 4 and my hearing is back...😂 ty!! #anothersatisfiedcustomer
This is working for me. I am so grateful I found this video! I have severe Eustachian tube dysfunction and I have been miserable. Three medications twice per day and no relief. Two days of this twice per day and finally my right ear pressure is 95% gone. Thank you Heather. I know this is old but my quality of life has improved so much in just two days. I ❤ you!!!
I’ve suffered from inner ear infections all my life, the last one was particularly bad. My ear was totally blocked, couldn’t even feel the fluid moving. Thank goodness I found you, this technique has changed my life. I could feel it working and it had cleared the fluid completely in a couple of days. Thank you so much Heather. Highly recommend this massage, it truly is amazing.
This video is a LIFESAVER! For the past week, my ears have been so clogged with fluid and nothing was working! The loss of hearing and non-stop tinnitus was driving me insane
Has your tinnitus gone? Mine is still bad
Free help and advice from people like you Heather, makes the world a much better place. Much blessings X
This worked for me like crazy but I watched the previous video as well and man I haven't breathed through my nose so clearly in my entire life!! I have had sinusitis my whole life and boy is this weird. Thank you so much for imparting your knowledge to us all. Love you!!!
This is really crazy and weird. Such small and light movements, at first you feel like nothing much is happening, but then something just does happen. I could literally feel my ears clearing up (I only managed to clear one ear the first time, but when I did it again the other ear "popped open" as well) Thanks so much for this. I had to suffer from terribly stuffy ears every time I had a cold, but those days are now over!
Man ,r u really free of ear problems,I am so glad to hear that this helped
It stopped my chronic daily vertigo. And way lessened my tinnitus and unplugged my ear after years
I did this massage on my 9 year daughter who has had stuffy ears and nose. Once we were done I asked how she felt and she said she could hear better and her voice sounded so clear since her nose wasn't stuffy. She wanted me to comment and thank you for posting this video because it helped her so very much. 😊👍
I actually heard the fluid in my right ear come lose, then my ear became clogged and as I kept massaging it all came lose and released!! Absolutely amazing. What I had been trying instinctively to clean out with a qtip, I would have never been able to do without this video. Thank God I found you. Even though this video is 8 years old. Wow.
I have to deal with vertigo since some weeks now. Doctors weren't much of a help and I still have some meetings scheduled. This helped alleviate the symptoms immediately. Thank you for providing this.
I have PCOS and when I get colds, they can easily overwhelm me. After a bad case of the flu I developed fluid in my ear for a month. I had done lymphatic drainage and yoga before, but this video really helped. After 2 weeks of antibotics, steroids, and herbal pills, this massage is finally helping me make progress. Thank you Heather Wibbels!
Thank you thank you thank you. This is amazing! My ears were completely blocked for 2 days at the end of a week of Influenza B, and the pressure was causing me great anxiety. I did your drainage techniques last night which reduced the pressure a bit and this morning it got the fluids draining even more. There are actually pops when I swallow now. Heather, you're a life saver.
Woke up with a blocked ear, couldn't hear out of the ear all day, did this and I can breathe and hear ❤ Thank You ❤
OH MY GOSH!!! MY EAR HAS BEEN KILLING ME FOR THE PAST 2 HOURS! I've been laying on hot rags and i took ibuprofen. And then i put a few drops of colloidal silver in my ear. No joke... About 15 pulls with the "live long and proper" move my ear pain literally vanished! I could feel some coolness in the back of my throat. I'm assuming that was some drainage.... But im NOT IN ANYMORE PAIN!! i can hear a little fluid moving around in there but again NO PAIN! I've been miserable for 3 weeks. It started as a simple cold... Turned into bronchitits, turned into sinus pressure and migraine headache for 2 days... Now ear infection today.... I just can't seem to catch a break :( till just now lol thankyou!
This is the first time I have ever touched my self while watching a youtube video! THANK YOU. My ear hurt so dang bad. i followed your video and i felt relief instantly. and now 2 hours later i can barly tell i had a ear ache. Seriously great work and thank you so much
This is fantastic. I suffer from chronic sinusitis along with dizziness and has really helped so far. Thank you!
You're an angel! I'm pain free and have had ear issues my whole life. I'm so grateful. you warmed my heart!!!
Thank you! Your explanations are so clear and not too long or too short. Really appreciate people like you who take the time to post in their areas of expertise, particularly helpful to those of us living in a foreign country.
this worked great!!! i first boiled a pot of water and let the steam cover my face and ear for 5 min allowing the steam to open things up a bit then followed massage techniques on this video, (doing 2 rounds of the massages in one evening).. My ear was feeling full and had tinnitus.. ALL has cleared up!! AND tinnitus gone!!! Thanks so much for posting this video :))
How long have you had tinnitus? after how many weeks massage did you realise the tinnitus was gone?
gianna plays q
gianna plays It
i'm so happy for you!! if anyone with tinnitus reads this - it will go away eventually, don't plan suicide :) mine went away after 8-9 month, it gradually lessened to hissing and the volume kept going down. I switched to healthy diet, daily massages, daily sauna, daily yoga, ginger tea, breathing excercises :) Tinnitus suck balls, but it will go away if you fix up you health. It's an internal alarm saying "IF YOU KEEP GOING LIKE THAT YOU GONNA DIE SOON", listen to it)
@@denisblack9897 How u got your tinnitus
I am so glad I found your video. Im currently dealing with sinusitis and fluid in the ears, and was looking for videos that would provide relief for me. As soon as I started your video, I could feel the drainage and a lot of the ear pressure has left. Thank you so much for this!
@Hexestar Glad you liked it!
Having a rough bout of tinnitus atm. The sound can be dealt with, but have a big build-up of pressure too. This helped relieve a lot of the pressure from my ear. Thanks very much!
I've done similar techniques this whole time but not 25-50 times like you suggest. I thought it would be excessive at first, but it really does take that long to get most of that slow moving mucous out. Thanks for this! I feel like I got a good amount drained! :)
Can you suggest anything for me same problem
I found this video in a pin and tried it when my ear became super painful to touch on the side of my face. It took a couple of hours to really feel it, but I can’t believe how well that worked! Zero pain the next day, and still draining. Wow! Thank you!! I’m excited to try some more of your videos.
This massage, combined with the first video, cleared up an earache (without a fever) that had been bothering me for a few days post head cold. Thank you so much, you saved me a trip to the doc & possibly from a round of unnecessary antibiotics.
Wow. Thank you for this! My ears are clearer than they have been in ages. Of course, after doing this and the previous video, I now have kind of a raw throat from all the drainage and REALLY tired arms! :D Super helpful stuff! I appreciate you sharing.
I was up ALL NIGHT with aching ears from a head cold and now after finding this video and going through these steps my ears finally stopped hurting so I can sleep. Thank you!!!
I have really bad pressure issues in my left ear, it's always really wet in the morning when I wake up, when I got to the ear pulling bit, my ear make a loud squeaking noise, and the pressure vanished! Thanks for sharing!
thanks so much for this. it is clear, concise, and easy to follow. After bad spring allergies this year my ears were a mess. I thought it had cleared up, but it came back... and my sense was that I needed to deal with lymph drainage issues. I did the full routine (all the videos) two days in a row, then am continuing with just the ear drainage. Along with other natural treatments, I am seeing steady progress of my ears healing up, and can feel the drainage as it occurs. Thanks for sharing such a great self-healing tool.
These techniques are also really helpful when experiencing ringing ears or pressure in the ears and nose during the solar flares! Thank you!
Hi how are you doing?
Yes! This is how I found this video. The x1-class solar flares lately have been giving me ringing ears and terrible neck / shoulder pain. I woke up feeling fantastic this morning.
@@anjijack5392 yes! The flares are awakening our pineal and pituatiry glands so we can be more open to receive. The side effects can be very physical and draining the lymph nodes is such a great tool to reduce the symptoms.
I love this video! Works like a charm every time. Thank you, Heather.
I am thankful I discovered this video. In 2011 I was diagnosed with an inop brain tumor. Over the past year I developed a constant buzzing/ringing in my left ear. I cannot hold a phone against that ear - it sounds like a swarm of bees in my ear. Reverberation is annoying to the point my left eye sheds tears. It also causes chills and occasionally nausea and other gastro issues. My Neurosurgeon scheduled MRIs with and without contrast. I also developed vertigo. I will be trying these techniques starting today. I prefer not to take medications. These simple techniques make sense to me, definitely more appealing than the pain RX that I never picked up from the pharmacy. Thank you for sharing your expertise via UA-cam. I plan to watch all your related videos. I plan to post an update within 2 weeks.
I hope this video has helped you and that you have had some relief
Love your videos. Straightforward, easy to follow and effective.
You just saved me $ as I was thinking I needed to go to the doctor for an antibiotic prescription for my stabbing ear pain. I did your drainage exercises for the first time yesterday, I didn’t need any ibuprofen at bedtime, and I slept like a baby all night. Thank you!!!
The most useful video on UA-cam. You have no idea how much this helps especially that I have chronic sinus problems. Thank you!
I just came back from the doctor and one of his nurse showed me your video. This helped me a lot...thanks Heather!
Wonderfully clear and helpful demonstration. Thanks SO much for creating and posting!
Thank you!! This is working very well for me. I've been doing this over the course of a week, 2-3 times a day.
I am dealing with severe vertigo as a result of endolymph buildup. The only way I can release the fullness from my ear is to do these massages.
-It doesn't happen overnight.
-Go slow, follow her directions.
-Relax. Focus on relaxing the muscles in your head, face, and neck. I had to, anyway. Once I did, wow.
-I also use an anti-inflammatory cream. That helps quite a bit.
-Taking a hot shower before helps as well.
This worked very well for me! Thank you!
My right ear popped several times, and I feel a lot better around my sinuses, face, & ear.
It felt really good, too, and relieved the pressure and pain throughout my sinuses.
🌷🌺💐🌷🌺💐
So good, I had to write again to thank you for this. Can really feel the positive impact of this massage- so grateful that you posted this!
So many times I come back to this video Heather and you’ve helped me so much...no sleep with ear pain for days now...thank you again!
Hi how are you doing?
Great video. So happy I found it...it is now four weeks later and my ears are drained and not causing me to experience dizziness. Doing these facial massages work. I mentioned this video to two of my doctors who said they have seen many patients with this problem and are going to mention these techniques and the video to them. Thanks , Heather!
Oh Heather, its exciting to watch on video ! Yes it is, we who suffer from allergies KNOW this is a well loved video of yours.😘🙌 Youre an angel for sharing! T Y . I'm sharing this video with those I know also will for anyone I see suffering from a cold or flu.👍🎶😘🙌💓
Thanks Heather for a gentle lovely holistic video. I've suffered sinus infections and ear probs for years, I feel this has helped a lot. Bless you luv n light xxx
been struggling since fall and late summer chronic sinus and ear issues, so glad i found your video. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Heather I looked at this initially sometime last year. Returning today and so much gratitude for this help. Thank you wishing you well
Thank you for the instructions. I have found your instructions very effective. I have been deaf in my left ear for almost 30 years, and still am, but I experienced a great deal of popping and pressure relief.
I stumbled on this video while having really painful otitis after a bad bout of covid. Really helped a lot. Such relief. Thank you so much
Oh i'm having exactly the same issue as you after covid!! It's driving me insane.
You aren't alone, I have a bad sinus infection after COVID that clogged my ears. I'm trying this before spending more money on ENT...
This is very helpful, it really helped clog feeling ears and head after a cold. Thanks Heather. You are a healer ❤
Effective and without a long preable or a request to click on the subscribe button. How refreshing. Thank you Heather.
I have been in pain because of the pressure in my left ear for almost 2 months now and even after doctor visits, it would never fully go away. After desperation hit me hard tonight, I googled massages for ear blockage and came across your video. THANK YOU!!! I feel so relaxed! I think I will finally get a good nights rest. Thank you so much:)
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this video. I was having so much pressure with meniere's, I could not function. I'm on my third day doing this twice daily, pressure is near nil and headaches are much more manageable. Thank you so much!
Thanks Heather for the great advice and most helpful exercises.😊❤
Thank you Heather. GOD BLESS.
This is amazing. I have referred to this video two times. The drainage tips really relieve ear pressure. Thank you for posting such helpful content!!!
Absolutely amazing! I was able to clear my clogged ear by following your instructions. What a valuable gift you've given all of us here on UA-cam. Thank you so much Heather! I'm so grateful to you...
me too!
How long did it take you??
Thank you so much for this video! I've been having issues with my eustachian tubes for a few months & after doing everything you've advised I actually feel absolute relief. Not going to stop doing this, thank you so much. xx
Do you still have eartube issues? Mine have been worse since Tinnitus came on back in early 2018, in left ear.
oh. my. goodness. you are saving my life right now! thank you!
You are my solution for all head colds. Thank you so... so much.
Thank you so much Heather. This actually worked for me and I felt the drainage happening. I will keep doing these along with a sinus rinse. Pls keep making videos like this ❤
Hi how are you doing?
Had a super bad ear infection (and super bad head cold + sinusitis). Did this video 2x before going to the drs. When I got to the doctors, she asked me why I wasn't screaming in pain as I had on a scale of 1 - 10 a 10 of an ear infection with the ear about to burst. I said I had just done lymphatic drain and it felt better. Juiced an onion, heated to body temp, and poured it in. Later did the lymphatic drain one more time. DH says that the ear looks about 50 % better, it didn't rupture, and the drain helped me later with a sinus headache. This technique worked for me. THANK YOU FOR POSTING, so I had something to do at 5:00 AM when the drs. weren't open yet.
Cedar Forest 5 am fuck waking up at that time not in the am bro
Is everything okay since that comment?
Heather, You are so good, Enjoying and practicing your massages. Thank you
Thank you Heather, I could feel the difference these exercises make!
Hi how are you doing?
This has been a miracle for my daughter. Thank you!
holy this actually worked. me being the grouch I am, gave up after the ear tugging, and just before i got out of the video all together, miraculously, my ear was cleared with a pop!!! THANK YOU hate not being able to hear properly :)
Had an ear infection for a couple days now and this definitely provides some relief to help get to sleep, amazing
I’ve been laying in bed for over an hour unable to sleep due to terrible sinus blockage, and finally while following along with this video, I can actually breathe through my nose again!!! Will definitely be saving this video for future reference. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this technique. I had so much facial and ear pressure from congestion over the last few days. OTC meds were no help. Did two of your videos and feeling so much relief.
This made me feel better during a bad sinus cold. THANK YOU.
Hi how are you doing?
This was tremendously helpful to me as I’d arrived at a group vacation with both ears blocked from a recent cold, and could not hear a word anyone else said. After one round of this exercise, I got about 50% of my hearing back, and I could hear and contribute to conversations again! I’m MOST grateful!
Thank you so much. Years ago I wanted to study lymphatic drainage massage but the only training I could find was in Germany and I couldn’t afford the time or expense. So happy to have found your videos!
I have had a head cold for 4 days. So much congestion. This helped tremendously. Thank you!!❤
Excellent! I have issues with left ear congestion. This has helped immensely
I really appreciate this video and Self Lymph Drainage Massage. Doing both 4x a day for an ear infection and sinus drainage. Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial.
This video is the best thing ever for a chronic ear infection sufferer like me. Thank you, Heather!!!
Hi how are you doing?
May God bless you!!!!! Really helpful! Thank you very much!
Thanks for your great videos!!! They have helped a bunch!
This is wonderful! Thank you!
This is my favorite video on this whole website. Nothing helps drain my ear fluid when I get sick more then this ladies instructions
First off let me thank you for sharing. I attempted to clean my ear with liquid earwax removal and ran into a problem when the fluid got trapped behind my ear drum. I did not get any sleep last night due to my ear being clogged and it started to get uncomfortable. As soon as I did this massage the pain went away and I could feel the fluid leaving my ear! I feel so much better now the pain is gone , no more popping in my ear, and I feel relaxed. Your a life saver I was hopelessly seeking some relief and I found it thanks to you. Your awesome!
Thank you..!! I am recovering from a bad cold. My whole right side of my head was clogged up. 15 mins of these massages and UnPlugged..!! I feel so much better now.
Wow, didn't realize how much pain I'd had in those areas. This is a wonderful tool!
I cannot thank you enough for thus video! You are my hero! Thank you for helping get through my ear infection with my sanity intact!
God bless you. This has helped so much. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I am on highest dose of allergy shots right now. My left ear hurts. I went to my primary care physician to check ear. He said no infection, but he could tell much pressure. I found relief in this video. Thank you.
Thank you very much for post this video it helps a lot, l was desperate. God bless you!! amen
Heather ...back here again and as always it helps so much...thank you so much.x
Thank God for your video. I have been in tremendous pain all day. Nothing helped my ears more than a tiny bit until I did your video. My son and I warched it together, and now he's walking around for the first time all day. Thank you! God bless you!
I'm so glad I came across this video I've been so miserable with my sinuses clogging & making my ears pop /hard to hear..this worked instantly! Thank you!!❤
