Any time I treat the ears, I always also treat the nose and throat, since they’re all connected. See also Nasal Rinse For Nasal Congestion

(This was for my 6-month old baby. Increase dosage for older children or adults. Dilute even more for younger babies. I always try the remedy on myself before applying to my children. Uses Essential Oils. See The Ear Infection Nightmare.)

Ear Rub

Massage around ears especially on the mastoid bone and base of neck every 10 minutes for the first hour, every 20 minutes for the second hour, then every hour after as much as possible on the first day.

Mix 3 drops lemon

1 drop purification

3 drops lavender

2 drops tea tree

10-15ml rollerball with carrier oil (Olive oil is what I used)

Ear Drops

Drop 3 drops and massage into ear canal every 3 hours for the first 3 days.

Chop fresh garlic (2 or 3 cloves)

Add chopped garlic to 2oz Olive oil in glass dish and cover

Let garlic soak overnight if possible or to use quickly, warm the olive oil

Strain so that garlic is separated from oil

Add drops inside the ear while warm and be sure it’s not too hot

I also use ear oil drops that contain Garlic root, mullein, John’s Wort, and lobella

Cotton Ball To Stuff Ear

Using a piece that will fit snuggly into the ear:

Soak cotton ball in warm coconut oil

In your hand, mix 1 drop of purification and diluted thyme

Roll the mix and cotton ball around in the palm of your hand

Stuff a piece of the cotton ball in each ear for a snug fit ensuring it’s not too small

Leave for 15-30 mins and repeat 3 times daily for 3-5 days using new cotton balls each time.

For more severe cases I add Helichrysum and Melrose (Melaleuca). Soak cotton balls in warm coconut oil first.

Onion & Garlic Poultice

Make onion poultice and place behind ears for 30mins. Make sure it’s warm but not too warm. I always test it on myself first.

To Make Onion Poultice

Chop up an onion

Add olive oil to pan

Add onion then sauté until they’re transparent

Add about a teaspoon of flour. Mix to create goopy paste.

Don’t over cook onion

Remove and add to towel or cheesecloth (or inside white baby socks) and place where there’s infection

To Make A Garlic Poultice

Chop 5-8 cloves

Mix in coconut or olive oil

Add inside a towel, cheesecloth or white baby socks.

Make sure it’s warm but not too warm. You can warm in microwave if necessary.

Place over ears (I held it in place with a headband). Be sure that it’s not too warm. You can also place on lymph nodes in neck area for sore throat or tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis Mix

2 drops Tea tree

2 drops Ginger

1 drop Thieves

1 drop Clove

1 drop Thyme

10-15ml rollerball with carrier oil (Olive oil is what I used)

Rub on neck and throat every 10 minutes for the first hour, 20 mins for the second hour, then every hour after as much as possible. For severe sore throat, I applied 1 drop neat of each oregano and thieves to bottoms of feet every 3 hours for 2 days.
