Basil oil has natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that can help to soothe the pain and inflammation associated with earaches. It also has antibacterial properties that can help to fight off any infection that may be causing the earache. This remedy is safe and effective for both children and adults, but should not be used if you have a ruptured eardrum or any other ear condition without first consulting a doctor.
Step 1: Crush a handful of fresh basil leaves to release their juices and oils.
Step 2: Mix the crushed basil with 1/4 cup of olive oil in a clean container with a lid.
Step 3: Allow the mixture to sit for 24 hours to infuse the oil with the basil's healing properties.
Step 4: Strain the oil into a dropper bottle or clean container.
Step 5: Warm the oil slightly by placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
Step 6: Use a dropper to place 2-3 drops of the warm basil oil into the affected ear.
Step 7: Gently massage the ear to help the oil work its way into the ear canal.
Step 8: Place a cotton ball in the ear to keep the oil from leaking out.
Step 9: Repeat 2-3 times a day.
