| Castor oil has been used for centuries for medical remedies. You can warm castor oil in the microwave then drop a couple drops in the infected ear, then place a cotton ball on the ear. Repeat this about 2 times a day for a couple of days. Castor oil is a miracle oil, your ear will be better in no time. It has always worked for my family. You can also heat it up with a garlic clove; strain out the garlic clove then put the oil in ears. This is my preference of choice. |

My dad used 1 tsp of fresh urine and instilled in the ear, followed by a cotton ball. As gross as it sounds, my ear ache was gone within 15 minutes, and I have never had an ear ache since. So when all else fails try it, you will be amazed. My grandparents used this as well. |
