A Home Remedy for Ear Discomfort

Earaches and infections can be very painful, scary, and inconvenient. Before I understood natural healing and knew of all the beautiful remedies that God gave us, I would turn to antibiotics for these types of infections. What is awesome to know is that you don’t have to do that! Now, the way I operate it only using antibiotics as a last resort and turning to holistic, herbal remedies first. It is

It is empowering and freeing to utilize the natural remedies and let the body use its GOd-given abilities (ie – the immune system) to fight off infections. I tend to make my own remedies but I do buy natural or homeopathic remedies here and there. One of the items I like to use in my home remedies is doTERRA Essential Oils because they support our body’s natural healing mechanisms.

Natural Ear Infection Remedy

Here I wanted to share a natural remedy recipe that we use around here for ear infections. It has always worked in our home – even on my husband!

At the first sign of any ear discomfort, I put together a concoction of garlic-infused coconut oil to in the ear canal. It’s effortless to make and literally takes only 20 minutes.

Here is the recipe and how to make it.

Ear Infection Remedy Recipe

You will need:

• 1-2 tsp. of organic, glyphosate-free coconut oil
  a sliver of chopped, organic fresh garlic clove (about 1/8th tsp.)
• small saute pan
• a small portion of a cotton ball

Essential Oil Ear Remedy

As I mentioned earlier, I love to use essential oils for SO MANY home remedies. Here is one I like to use for ear discomfort.

Using a 10ml roller ball add 10 drops each of:

• Tea Tree
• Basil
• Helichrysum
• Frankincense

Fill the rest with Fractionated coconut oil. Rub around the outside of the ear and inside the ear (though not in the ear canal). Do this 3-4 times per day. Then rub a bit of ozone oil around the same area and place 2 drops of 3% food-grade hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal. Bubbling will occur but will quickly go away.

Here is a link to a kit that contains these exact oils and fractionated coconut oil (along with free membership which means you get 25% off all oils)!

Did you also know that you can use a combination of Juniper Berry and Helichryysum (one drop each) around the outer part of the ear to help with Tinnitus?

Herbal Remedies are the Bomb!

Ever since we changed from using over-the-counter and pharmaceuticals for ailments and started using God’s herbs and natural ingredients from the earth, I have felt so empowered and love how effective they are! Not only does it support our bodies natural healing mechanisms but because there aren’t any chemicals being used, our immune systems get boosted rather than torn down!

It’s a win, win!
