                                The inner ear depends on a finely tuned balance of fluids to function properly. When this balance is disrupted, often by thick mucus or inflammation, it can cause the discomfort of clogged ears. While diet is not a cure, certain foods can support your body's natural ability to relieve this pressure by thinning mucus, fighting inflammation, and boosting the immune system.
