Ear Drops - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 ounces olive oil
3 -4 garlic cloves
Preparation
-
Crush or mince garlic.
Put it in a clean glass jar with lid.(Baby food jars are great)
Leave it sitting on the counter and gently shake it every time you pass by for 4 or 5 hours.
Strain off the oil and either discard the garlic solids or save them to use in a recipe.
Put the oil in a dropper bottle.(Preferably glass).
For use when having ear pain or sore throat: Put two or three drops of oil in each ear, twice a day, once in the morning and again at night.
Place a cotton ball in the ear for a few minutes to absorb any excess oil.
Keep oil in the refrigerator and warm gently rolling the bottle between your hands before using.
NOTES:
It gets slightly solidified in the refrigerator. More is NOT better.
Ears need to be able to \"breathe\"/get oxygen.
You should make fresh ear drops every two or three days. I keep mine three days -- I've never had a problem with \"spoilage\".
You can make less if you will only be using it for one person.
