Gently warm 2 tablespoons olive oil with 1 crushed garlic clove
Remove from heat and let cool to body temperature
Strain out the garlic
How to use (important):
Only use if the eardrum is intact
Place 2–3 drops in the ear while lying on your side
Rest for 5 minutes, then allow it to drain
Do not use if there is drainage, fever, severe pain, or known eardrum damage.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide (For Wax or Outer Ear Issues Only)
Why it helps:
Diluted hydrogen peroxide can help soften earwax and keep the outer ear clean.
How to use:
Mix equal parts 3% hydrogen peroxide and warm water
Place 3–5 drops in the ear
Wait 5 minutes, then tilt head to drain
Use only for outer ear concerns, not for deep or ongoing infections.
4. Stay Upright and Well Hydrated
Why it matters:
Lying flat can increase pressure in the ear. Staying upright helps fluid drain more naturally.
