ear infection

[Guest guest]

I get garlic juice from a jar of minced

garlic and put 3-4 drops in my ear and leave in for 3 min a piece. Typically

see results in 24 hours or so.

Infection

 

I have an ear infection and am making the ear drops

that are listed

in the files. I have used ear candles in the

past but is it ok to

use them with an infection? Thanks for your

help! Angela

Just had to respond to this message. I work for a chiropractor and I have seen what chiropractic can do for people. It is wonderful!

Linda Bumpas [lindabumpas] ear infection

Thanks to everybody who made suggestions when my son had an ear infection a while back. Before we had a chance to try any of them, he went to an appointment with our chiropractor. The chiropractor showed him how to massage his neck and chest to help his ear drain. After that he had no more problem with his ear! So another cure for ear infections: chiropractic. It's amazing what chiropractic can do.

Hi,

I agree with BJ. The mullein-garlic compound is, in my opinion, better

than antibiotics. i can start getting an ear infection and use the mix.

within a day the pain and signs of infection are gone. it is the best.

I can tell you what worked for me. About 15 years ago, I developed an ear

infection. Hadn't had one since I was a kid - and was in my 50's when this

happened. Didn't have a cold...nothing. Anyway, I waited a few days, and

pretty soon lost the hearing in one ear and started having severe pains in

the back of my head. Thought I had a brain tumor. Finally made an

appointment with a doctor. Of course got the usual round of

antibiotics. About 8 or 10 days went by - still had an ear infection. Now

I got nervous as we were set to fly from Denver to Seattle in just two or

three weeks, and I knew I couldn't fly in that condition.

 

Went back to doctor. New antibiotics. Took as prescribed - still had an

ear infection.

 

Went to different doctor where I used to live - trusted him more

anyway. Got the strongest antibiotic he could give me (I'm allergic to

Penicillin). Took that as prescribed. I won't keep you in

suspense...still had an ear infection.

 

Frustrated, went to the health food store and bought a small bottle of

" Mullein-Garlic Compound " . (I just now went and got this out of my

cupboard!) I used it for 3 nights, and the ear infection

disappeared....never to return.

 

Nor did I. I have not been to a doctor since.

 

Anyway, the Compound contains the following:

 

Olive oil, St. John's Wort, Calendula, Mullein and Garlic.

 

I have carried this little guy with me all these years - forgot about it

until you asked the question.

 

(Unfortunately, I have just had a sniff of my little friend and it's time

for it to move on to the great herbal garden in the sky or

something. Olive oil does get rancid after all!!! LOL)

Thanks Jeanne for the info on the garlic mullein oil. My health food store

had one with the same ingredients(garlic, mullein, st john's wort, and

calendula). I've used it for 2 nights and my daughters ear already feels

better. This was after being on an antibiotic for 9 days that didn't cure

it. Oh and the antibiotic caused a major reaction in her called erythema

multiforme, so if anyone gets an ear infection try to cure it naturally

first. The allergic reaction was just an awful thing to go through and for

nothing since the antibiotic didn't even work.

Yes, morning (lay down for a few minutes after doing this) and evening.

Larix by Eclectic Institute will prevent and cure ear infections. Given at

the start of a cold, runny nose etc it will prevent. Most health food

stores/herb shops carry this product. Get the powdered type, it dissolves in

milk or

juice or water or tea and has no discernable taste. 1 - 3 teaspoons a day for

children under 12. I have had great results. I am not affiliated with this

product and do not have anything for sale. This is just such a wonderful

product, I feel I need to pass on the information.

It is a type of polysaccharide from the Western Larch tree. It is water

soluble.

Peace, Thyme

Warm some olive oil on a tsp NOT HOT! put that and

drops of Echinacia tincture in her ear. I have done

this for years with my daughter and it works

wonderfully. She seldom needed antibiotics for ears.

Please do not use Q-Tips.... very dangerous for dogs - you could pierce the drum if (when) he shakes his head.

 

Our Golden has ear problems about once a month (very common for labs, retrievers etc). He’s had them all his life and he turned 7 this past New Year’s.

His ears get red and smell when there is a problem. It gets red because he scratches at the ear. It smells because of the wax and yeast build-up. Nine times out of ten it gets worse when we stray off of his lamb/rice/veggie diet (his b-day was on new year's and we made him a pineapple angel food cake for his ‘gift’ -- BIG MISTAKE!!!). Too much sugar exacerbated the yeast growth. So it’s cleaning out the ear with EpiOtic, toilet paper and/or cotton every other day until the wax and yeast are diminished (usually only takes ~ week or two).

We clean his ears out every other week when there isn’t a problem.

I realize that EpiOtic sounds like a ‘drug’ – but it is actually a very natural product.

 

Just my opinion - take it for what its worth..

What is EpiOptic? I have been using a washcloth around my finger or a

cotton ball today, but really, Morgan is such a good girl, she lays her

head on my lap so I can work with her. Then I massage her ears. I am

thinking of adding Tea Tree Oil to the Cayenne/Thyme/Nasturtium oil blend.

[Guest guest]

Hi Jaynee,

I would add raw garlic to your dogs food. The garlic will kill off the

infection from the inside.

Also, garlic and mullein in an olive oil base is great for the ears.

Doc has an Ear formula that is just that.

Hope this helps!

Jaynee,

We have a cocker spaniel with frequent ear infections.

In the past his vet used to put him on treatments that would hardly

help. The best relief and help we managed to give him is with using

strong garlic oil I made at home along with Organic Solutions Ear

Formula. Because of itching once everything starts working it is hard

for him to calm down, so we also give him some Organic Solutions Nerve

Sedative Formula that helps him greatly. To clean the ears, my husband

used the water solution from the vet in past, but we may try ear

candling to see if we can get any of the wax build up out... I hope it

will help him lessen the frequency of his discomforts.

....hope this helps ...

Hello,

 

I've used Garlic Oil, Garlic/Mullein Oil, and hydrogen peroxide (NOT

at the same time as the oil) for outer ear infections. My Neti pot

seems to help with inner ear infections.

 

I don't have nearly as much ear trouble as I used to. My ear troubles

started when I was 17, after I took a strong knock on the chin, and

sorta took care of themselves over the last few years...

Hi;

 

The Garlic oil and hydrogen peroxide have worked for me in the past. However,

if you want something really quick, take some listerine and use it. Yeh, I know

it'll sting, but trust me it works. If you have more time, use grapefruit seed

extract for your nose to clear it out if you don't want to use the Neti pot. If

you do use the Neti pot, make sure to use a SMALL pinch of high quality salt.

 

I've also went over to Seagateproducts.com for thier earache remedy. It's all

natural with olive leaf extract and takes about three days to work for me.

 

Hope the info can help,

 

Scott
