Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 There are two things I use. If I'm lazy I swab some tea tree oil into my ear and eat a clove of raw garlic. If I'm feeling a bit more up to the challenge I use ear oil. (Doc has a good recipe for this.) And if I'm really desperate I use my grandma's old recipe:She puts oil on a cotton ball. (She was never specific about what kind, but I usually use what is in the cupboard, like olive oil.) Then she squeezed out as much oil from the cotton ball as possible and unrolled it. Once open she put the tiniest (and I do mean the tiniest) piece of garlic she could cut and rolled it back up. (Too big a piece of garlic and the ear will burn and peel.) Then she would put the oil moistened cotton ball in my ear and I would sleep on it. It's stinky, but boy does it work well! herbal remedies From: raynesaltair1Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:45:54 +0000{Herbal Remedies} Boil inside my ear.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks so much, I'm trying the tea tree now. Hopefully by Monday I'll be able to use the phone again without pain. Rayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
