Natural Home Remedies For Earache
66
An earache is a sign of an infection. It should be noted that many times the cause of an earache will originate in the teeth and gums. If the teeth and/or gums are infected the infection can work it’s way to the ears. Therefore the teeth and gums should be ruled out as the cause of pain before applying treatment for an earache. These herbal home remedies for an earache are natural drug free ways to relieve the pain and eliminate the infection.
Natural Home Remedies For Earache
Calendula Oil is a mild pain reliever with germ fighting properties. Apply to a piece of cotton ball then apply to the ear.
Echinacea tea is a natural antibiotic which kills the enzymes produced by bacteria that attack healthy tissue and invade cells. Echinacea builds up the immune system to fight germs and infection. Begin drinking Echinacea tea as soon as the symptoms appear. Drink up to three cups per day. NOTE: Do not give echinacea tea to children under the age of two.
Garlic is called the wonder herb. It has sulfur rich antibiotics. Put a few drops of garlic oil directly into the ear, then cover with a cotton ball. To make your own garlic oil, crush a few cloves of garlic and pour some olive oil over them, cover then let this stand at room temperature for a few days. Then strain the mixture. Refrigerate the oil. It can be warmed up and used as needed.
Lavender Essential Oil is a powerful natural remedy for an earache. Add one drop of lavender essential oil to a warm teaspoon of olive oil. [May also add one drop of chamomile with the lavender and olive oil] blend the mixture. Then soak a cotton ball in the mixture then plug it into the ear.
Mullein Oil is a powerful bacteria killer. Drop a few drops inside the ear and cover the ear with a cotton ball.
For a massage oil: Mix of a few drops of lavender, chamomile and tea tree essential oils in one teaspoon of vegetable oil. Message the cheek and ear area with the oil. Afterwards, use a warm compress to the area.

Thanks Sandy, Olive oil is a great carrier oil to add lavender or another essential oil to.
I guess most kids get an earache from time to time, but the most painful one I ever had was because of an infected tooth. That's why I wanted to make the point in my Hub that the culprit causing the pain could come the teeth or gums. Once that's taken care up the earache goes away.
