Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 Earaches Another problem that the late winter/early spring season brings is ear infections and earaches. Fortunately, you can make your own eardrops. You will need:Mullein flowersOlive oilGarlic clovesPut about a cup of the mullein flowers in a cup of olive oil in a small pan. (The olive oil should cover the flowers.) Heat this at a very low temperature for several hours, remembering that you only want to extract the beneficial elements from the mullein, not cook it. Put several cloves of garlic in the batch for the second hour. When you can smell the fragrance of the mullein, cool the mixture and strain it well. When you are ready to use it, shake it and use a dropper to put 5-10 drops into the outer ear. Keep your head tilted to allow the oil to penetrate, then you can place a piece of cotton in your ear to keep the oil from leaking out onto your clothing or your pillow.- Carla Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
