Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi Bonnie, From what I have read, it is not safe to put a Q tip in the ear canal . They say we should not insert anything into our ear canal smaller than our elbow! =-) Kathleen FW: Itchy ear fungus & can I use Iodine+resending this Hello: I have a vague feeling that this was already covered at some point when I wasn't all that interested. Now I'd like to know if it is SAFE and OKAY to put Iodine on a Q-Tip and insert into the ear canal? Thanks, Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Kathleen, you’re funny. I thought I had read that here on this forum at some point but since you read everything, you would know. So I’ll put that idea to rest. Since doctors have us putting in these AWFUL steroid drops, I thought Iodine would be safe.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi Bonnie, Actually I don’t remember reading anything about putting iodine into the ear. So I don’t know if that is a good idea or not. I do know that there are drops available from heath food stores ( garlic/olive oil and different combinations ). Here are some I found online: http://www.iherb.com/NutriBiotic-Ear-Drops-1-fl-oz-30-ml/4718?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Gaia-Herbs-Ear-Oil-1-fl-oz-30-ml/14448?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Wally-s-Natural-Products-Ear-Oil-with-Essential-Herbs-Oils-1-fl-oz-30-ml/6002?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Ear-Oil-Relief-1-fl-oz-30-ml/13635?at=0 http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Answer-Mullein-Flower-Ear-Oil-Alcohol-Free-Extract-1-fl-oz-30-ml/7970?at=0 Kind regards, Kathleen FW: Itchy ear fungus & can I use Iodine+resending this Hello: I have a vague feeling that this was already covered at some point when I wasn't all that interested.
