10 Home Remedies For Ear Infections
Remedy #3: Garlic
Garlic is used in traditional medicine and as a food flavoring. Studies found that the consumption of garlic can help reduce the likelihood of some cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract. There is also some (although limited) evidence that high consumption of garlic can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Due to the antiviral and antibacterial properties of garlic oil, it can be beneficial as a remedy for ear infections. Garlic oil can be made by crushing garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil, infusing it, and running it through a sieve. About 3 to 4 drops of the oil can be used in the affected ear 3 to 4 times a day. Consult a doctor before trying the remedy, especially if it is intended for children.
