Garlic oil for ear infection

Garlic oil, applied directly to the ear canal, is a traditional remedy for earaches. Tests have found that garlic treatment stopped the growth of aspergillus and Candida, two fungi that sometimes cause ear inflammation.

Recipe Instructions: Herbal Oil Infusions :
  1. Crush 4 or 5 fresh garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, remove skin and mince.
  2. Add minced garlic to 200 ml virgin olive oil in a sauce pan.
  3. Heat over a medium flame until just hot as the garlic cloves begin to bubble
  4. Put a close fitting lid on the pan and steep for 4 to 5 hours.
  5. Strain oil into sterile jar, then pour about 30 ml in a dark colored tincture bottle with a syringe top, reserving the rest in the refrigerator.
  6. Tilt the head, and apply a few drops of oil at a time to the infected ear. Plug with a cotton ball.
  7. Apply gentle heat to the ear with a warm compress or hot water bottle.
  8. Drain and repeat as necessary.
