Ear Pains From Patka

[Guest dssdf]

Hi, basically iv been wearing a patka, i do like it to be perfect - tightish and cover my ears, the problem is my ears are alright for a bit but as time goes on they just kill ;/ i know its not that i have to get used it as iv been wearing a patka for ages so... Im not looking to wear a turban as of yet or change the way my patka is tied etc or tie it under my ears.

So anyone got any good/effective solutions for this pain? I've heard about the cotton wool but havnt really tried it lol seems a bit dodgy lol wont the cotton fall out or something lol. I put some vaseline on my ears and it does seem to help but yeah anything else?

Thanks.

Apply niva cream to your ears (rub it into your ears every time just before you tie patka. Also you might want to try ironing just the front that covers your forehead&ears before you tie patka. I don't know why but it seems to help lol

Try some other style, like

Lastly tight patka hampers blood flow to the brain, can damage the nerves.

Forget the patka. Start tying an ears-out dastar as it takes the same amount of time or even less to tie. I know plenty of Singhs starting to rock this style again. Basically its the Misl Era turban you see Singhs in fresco paintings wear.

All you need is the full voile material and tie like 4 or 5 larhs. Bunga is optional. There's a reason why puratan Singhs wore this type of dastar as it's really compact and secure. All in all, it's truly a jangi type of turban.
