Home Remedy Ear Infection Drops (Garlic Ear Oil Recipe)
These home remedy ear infection drops (garlic ear oil) use natural, plant-based ingredients to support issues with ear pain and infection.
Servings 30 drops
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or fractionated coconut oil
- 2 cloves raw garlic crushed
- 6-8 drops tea tree oil
Instructions
- Heat oil in a small pan and add crushed garlic. Cook over low heat until garlic becomes fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, and garlic is infused in oil. Remove from heat.
- Strain oil and pour into a sterile glass amber dropper bottle. Add 6-8 drops of tea tree oil. Shake well.
- Drop 1-2 drops oil in ear as needed. Lie on side and gently massage behind ears, about 5 minutes to allow oil to absorb in ear. Use once per day as needed to support ear infections and ear health.
Notes
- Make sure the garlic is roughly chopped or crushed to release juices.
- Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week. Reheat oil as needed when using, and make a new batch after that 1 week timeframe to ensure purity.
- To reheat, place the bottle of ear oil in a bowl of hot water for 1-2 minutes. Ensure the oil is not too hot by testing a drop on your hand. You can also use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil.
