Rose-Petal Earache Infusion

2 teaspoons dried rose petals

8 ounces of water

Heat the water to boiling and steep the petals for 20 minutes. Trickle the warm infusion into the ear and allow it to rest there for a few minutes.

Mullein-Garlic Oil for Earache

Throughout the summer, the herb mullein grows big, beautiful stalks packed with delicate yellow flowers. These flowers have long been used to soothe ear problems. When combined with garlic, you have an antibacterial force to be reckoned with. You only get the fresh flowers in the summer, so you have to make your year’s supply all at once.

fresh mullein flowers

fresh garlic cloves

olive oil

Fill a 4-ounce jar with mullein flowers and add olive oil to the top. Fill another 4-ounce jar with garlic cloves and add olive oil to the top. Close the jars and set out in the sun for 4 weeks, shaking daily. Every couple of days, take the lids off for a few hours to allow for water evaporation. You’ll need steady temperatures to make this solar infusion, 80 degrees F or higher. After both of the oils are done, strain them. Mix 1 ounce of the mullein flower oil with ½ ounce of the garlic oil. To use, warm up slightly in the palms of your hand, drop 1 or 2 drops directly into the ear, and massage the ear gently. I gently pull up, down, and back on the ear lobe and then massage behind the ear. Can be done 3 times a day.
