      Make a rice pack. Just pour some white rice into an old sock and then just tie the sock off at the end.

    • 3

      Warm the rice pack in your microwave for 45-65 seconds, checking often to make sure it's the right temp. for your needs.

    • 4

      Apply 2-3 drops of warm garlic oil to your ear before bedtime and then apply the warm rice pack to your sore ear.

Tips & Warnings

  • Consider adding garlic to your diet on a regular basis and this might just be your last ear infection.

  • When adding garlic to food, first wait until the food is cooked. Cooking destroys a lot of the antibiotics properties.

  • Don't give the garlic pills to a child as they are much too strong and will cause stomach upset.

  • Instead you can add a small amount of fresh crushed garlic to their food during the day.

  • Be sure to not get the rice pack or garlic oil to hot
