Ear aches and garlic oil

Hi Ladies!

I just wanted to give a review of something I was a bit skeptical about. But I had a horrible ear ache and was ready to try anything to make it go away!

 Infuse some garlic in olive oil. Let them meld for about 30 mins or so. And add a couple drops to each ear. Repeat as necessary (I think I only did it once!).

Today my ears feel brand new! Amazing!

Just wanted to share in case anyone else had read about it and was curious. Anyone else try some at home remedies for colds / flu / allergy type symptoms??

Re: Ear aches and garlic oil

  • I did this exact thing a few months ago and was surprised at the immediate results I experienced too.

    I didn't let the oil garlic sit because I was in pain and desperate at 3 am. I zapped in the microwave for about 10 seconds and then stuck in the freezer to rapidly cool. Then did a couple drops in the one ear that had stabbing pain. Pain gone in less than 5 minutes and I never did visit a doctor despite contemplating an ER visit moments before.

    However, I was left with the stuffy feeling in my ear for weeks but I suspect I'd have the same outcome had I used drugs as well. Because decongestants and other things didnt help clear it up either. Eventually it went away and I'm 100 back to normal.

    Glad it worked for you too! DH thinks I'm crazy, hehe.

    I tried just putting big slices in my ears like old school hearing aids, but that didn't relieve it enough. So I moved on to the oil. But the microwave it a good idea for fast relief!
