Did you know that each year, a staggering 25 million pediatric appointments in the United States are linked to those pesky ear infections? It's a good thing that there are some tried-and-true home remedies that will relieve and alleviate our children's discomfort.
Here are 5 holistic remedies for inner ear infections you can safely try at home.
⭐ 1. Garlic is the leading antibacterial oil.
Mince one garlic clove. Pour ¼ cup olive oil into pan and warm on stove. Put garlic and oil in lidded glass container. Allow the mixture to infuse overnight.
To use: With your finger, rub warm garlic oil all around outside of and entry to the child’s ear. Let a couple of drops trickle into the ear canal.
⭐ 2. Apple Cider Vinegar will do away with ear fungus, a common cause of inner ear infection.
Prepare a simple solution using equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water. With an ear syringe, squirt the mixture into the child’s ear. After a couple of minutes, hold a towel to affected ear and have your little one lean his/her head over to drain the liquid out.
⭐ 3. Tea Tree Oil is a holistic alternative for treating ear infections. Simply mix about 10 drops of warm tea tree oil with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drizzle a little bit of the mixture into the ear as needed.
⭐ 4. Onion contains medicinal properties. Chop a small onion into glass bowl and microwave 1-2 minutes. Cool and strain off the juice.
With a glass eyedropper, squirt three drops onion juice into affected ear. Wait about 15 minutes. Hold a towel to the child’s ear and have them bend their head over so the juice can drain out.
