Ear oils are a traditional home remedy for ear ache .



Pour 2/3 of a cup of olive oil into a clean glass pint jar. Add 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped, and a half a fresh mullein leaf, cut into very small pieces. Seal the jar with a screw on lid, and leave for ten days in sunlight. This extracts the active constituents of the home remedy for ear ache from the ingredients.


After ten days, strain the oil, through a fine mesh wire sieve, and then through clean muslin or cotton cloth. Put it into another small container, one that is preferably glass. Add 4 - 5 drops tea tree oil, or melaleuca. Store your home remedy for ear ache with the lid on in a dark place.
