The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you
to reconsider what you thought you understood about curing an earache
naturally. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and
be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.
For mothers of young children, there are natural methods for relief of
earaches. It has been estimated that as many as 95 percent of all children
have at least one ear infection by the age of six.
Believe me, there is nothing worse than walking the floor with a child
suffering from an earache.
Here are some tips to naturally alleviate the pain of earaches:
1) Place a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear. Bottle
can be placed in a small glass of warm water for a few minutes to get
it warm.
(Garlic oil and Mullein flower oil can be used as an alternative to olive
oil, either in combination or on their own. They will help to fight disease-causing
microbes and reduce inflammation. Place a few drops of oil in the ear
twice a day.)
2) Plug the ear loosely with a cotton ball.
(You can also make a paste using onion powder and apply it to the outside
of the ear to relieve pain.)
3) Apply a warm compress over the painful ear. Heat
can bring quick pain relief.
(If the outer ear appears irritated, Lavender oil rubbed in gently can
be very soothing. Apply as needed throughout the day.)
4) Prepare a steam inhalation by adding several drops
of Eucalyptus essential oil or a teaspoon of Vicks to nearly boiling water
in a bowl.
Place a towel over your head and inhale the steam through the nose 3
times a day until pain subsides. This will help to open the Eustachian
tubes, easing pressure and help to drain the fluids from the ear.
5) Supplements such as Vitamin A, C, and Echinacea will
help boost the immune system.
Warnings
Avoid the most common allergenic foods: wheat, dairy products, corn,
oranges, peanut butter, and all simple carbohydrates, including sugar,
fruits, and fruit juices.
Do not blow nose if you have an ear infection. Keep the ear canal dry.
Put cotton in the ear canal when showering or bathing.
Never insert a cotton swab into the ear as this can puncture the eardrum.
When using a steam inhalation, put the bowl into the sink to prevent
accidentally tipping the bowl over and burning yourself.
