natural remedies for ear infections

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

For colds, flu, ear infections, etc., there are several easy things you can

do at home. If your daughter is in pain, you could use ear drops made with

mullein and hypericum. I would also suggest giving her as pure a vitamin C as

you can find; also consider giving her vitamin D. Echinacea tincture (in juice)

will help boost her immune system, as will Elderberry tincture. And feed her

garlic and onions.

One old remedy that really works is to put a few drops of 3% hydrogen

peroxide in each ear, one side at a time. Let it sit until the bubbling

sensation abates, or, if she can't tell you what she's feeling yet, at least 5

minutes on each side. You can repeat this 3X/day until the sniffles are gone.

It would also be good to take an acute care homeopathy class to learn how to

treat simple illnesses such as this, or at least buy a good beginner's book on

homeopathy and study it. Or, if you have a certified homeopath, make an

appointment for your daughter.

Lymph node massage also will clear ear infections, and children especially

love it. Read Randall Neusteadter's book on ear infections.

There are so many ways to keep our children healthy, and none of them

involves going to a doctor! Parents should take the responsibility themselves

and learn how to care for themselves and their children, much as our

grandparents did years ago.

Good luck!

Chiropractic is also VERY effective for ear aches/infection. I

witnessed this first-hand on myself. About a month ago I went in for

an adjustment... didn't realize I had an infection until the chiro ran

his thumb down my neck below my ear and it HURT! He recognized it as

an infection and adjusted me... IMMEDIATELY I felt the fluid drain

from my ear canal, the pain was gone and it didn't come back. He's

adjusted my son when he was starting to get an ear ache with good

results too, but I never knew just how immediate it was until I

experienced it for myself!

I second the use of chiropractic for ear infections. I was a

chiropractic assistant after high school and we had a lot of kids we

treated for ear infections quite successfully. Although technically

chiropractic doesn't " treat " the infection it just helps the body do

the work of healing.
