Description
Garlic is powerful on its own and olive oil is soothing to infection as well. Olive oil is often used as the base for healing salves and lotions because it contains potent polyphenols which reduce inflammation. Together, garlic and olive oil can help ease the pain of ear infection and reduce healing time.
Important Note:
This remedy is very effective, but it is important to make sure that the ear drum has not ruptured before using this or any other remedy in the ear.
Garlic is the main component in the herbal eardrops. Earaches can be terribly painful, whether you are a child or an adult. You don’t want to live with that pain and you want to get rid of it quickly, but you also want to approach it the natural way. Avoiding antibiotics and going the natural route can help the body heal itself the correct way.
This may sound a little odd, but putting a few drops of garlic oil in your ear is a great natural remedy. Garlic has amazing healing properties, the primary ones being antibacterial and anti-viral. The compounds in garlic help to attack the *bacteria or virus in the inner ear, while the antiseptic properties of garlic work to inhibit the infection from spreading.
The reason you should avoid antibiotics is because they cannot really help you heal from an earache/ear infection.
An ear infection is typically caused by a virus, which the antibiotics do not go after. Turn to Mother Nature and drop a few drops of garlic oil in your ear. This will help decrease the throbbing sensation that is common in earaches. Garlic is an anti-inflammatory food, which is why it can help reduce this swelling and pain.
