Natural Remedies for Earache & Ear Infections

1. Garlic Oil: A Natural Antibacterial and Pain Reliever

Garlic is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics. It contains allicin, a compound known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Garlic oil helps fight ear infections and provides soothing relief from pain.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cloves of garlic

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Crush the garlic cloves and heat them gently with olive oil for 2–3 minutes.

  2. Let the mixture cool until it’s lukewarm.

  3. Use a dropper to apply 2–3 drops into the affected ear.

  4. Massage the outer ear gently and repeat twice a day until symptoms improve.

Tips:

  • Always make sure the oil is warm, never hot.

  • Do not place raw garlic directly inside the ear canal.
