- Gently crush the garlic cloves to release their juice.
- Heat the garlic with olive oil on low heat for 2–3 minutes (do not fry or burn).
- Allow the mixture to cool until it is just lukewarm.
- Using a clean dropper, place 2–3 drops into the affected ear.
- Gently massage the outer ear.
- Repeat twice a day until symptoms improve.
Tips:
- Always ensure the oil is warm, not hot, to prevent burns.
- Never insert raw garlic directly into the ear canal—it can irritate delicate tissue.
- If you have a ruptured eardrum or ear drainage, avoid this remedy and consult a doctor.
