Ear Ache Remedy

Recently, my son woke up in pain in the middle of the night saying his ear was in pain. I immediately put together my favorite ear ache remedy for him.

At this point I wasn’t sure if it was an ear ache or an ear infection. In either case, I would treat it the same way AND I didn’t want it to get any worse. All I know is that it was inflamed and he was in pain. I just wanted his pain to go away.

The first day it was in the left ear. I applied the ear ache treatment. Then I applied the ear ache remedy to the other ear the next night when it moved to the right ear. The third day, it was gone.

The ear ache remedy I used worked really well.

Here’s my ear ache remedy:

1. I went and got my garlic oil.

If you have an emergency, you could use some in about an hour after you get it going. Other wise, let it sit a day or more.

2. I warmed up the oil a little past room temperature.

3. I got a dropper and applied 2-3 drops in the affected ear. I put a little cotton on his ear. You can plug it in or tape a cotton ball on the ear.

4. I Made sure he was laying down for 15-20 minutes. I just put a movie on for him to watch.

You can apply this up to 4 times throughout the day. Any left over oil should be refrigerated
