In Managing Otitis Media: a Time for Change (Pediatrics, October, 1995), Jack Paradise notes that children who frequently have ear infections should be treated with natural remedies as much as possible, rather than with sustained, preventative antibiotics. Herbs For Kids Willow/Garlic Ear Oil is a suitable natural remedy. It promotes ear health to prevent and heal infections. This topical oil is an olive oil-based blend of antifungal and antibacterial herbs that help relieve pain. This effective formula helps keep all parts of the ear healthy without the negative side effects associated with many medications.
To use: Warm oil to a temperature slightly higher than body temperature before use. Treat BOTH ears after they have been cleaned and dried, and then cover them with clean cotton. This oil can be used in conjunction with internal antibacterial herbs, such as Herbs For Kids Echinacea and Oregon Grape Root, for optimum benefits. Never use this product or any other oils on a child whose eardrum has been perforated.
Note: if your child has reoccurring ear infections, read Michael Schmidt’s Healing Childhood Ear Infections for help.
