Garlic Oil for Ear Infections

Ingredients:

2 organic garlic cloves, cut in 1/4ths

3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

  1. Combine cut garlic cloves with olive oil and let sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours. 
  2. Strain and discard the garlic cloves, leaving only the infused oil.
  3. Use immediately or place in a clean dropper bottle to be used within 24 hours.

To Use:

Acute ear infection:

Lay on your side, add one drop to the ear, and stay still for 15 minutes. Afterward, you can put a cotton ball in the ear to ensure the oil doesn't drip out. Repeat this three times a day. 

Tips:

Home garlic oil is not shelf-stable and must be used shortly after being made. Make a new batch every 24 hours.
