Homemade Earache Remedy

Cannot take credit for this one, it has been passed down through the generations.  But it works!  No reason to reinvent the wheel.

What you need on hand:

• olive oil
• garlic
• chamomile essential oil
• lavendar essential oil

**See below for information about what each ingredients’ healing attribute.

1. Begin with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
2. Add 1 drop of garlic oil from a freshly crushed garlic clove.
   You can do this by crushing the clove and allowing a drop to roll off into the oil.
3. Add 2 drops of chamomile to the oil.
4. 2 drops of lavender to the oil.
5. Stir oils to mix.
6. Fill an eyedropper with mixture.
7. Add 2 drops of oil to the ear.

Try to keep the aching ear upright for a couple of minutes.  I like to add this oil at night before bed so that I fall asleep with my ear upright for a while.  This is great for kids as it usually gives immediate relief.

**In this mixture the garlic is used for its antimicrobial properties,  the chamomile for it’s anti-inflammatory effects and lavender for both it’s antibacterial and soothing anti-inflammatory effects.  The lavender also promotes healing.
