Steam Inhalation

Use a steam inhalation with a few drops of lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus or thyme to a bowl of hot water. Cover your head with a towel and breathe deeply through your nose and mouth for 5-10 minutes.

Essential oil drops

To relieve the pain of infections drop 6 drops of muellin oil or garlic oil in the affected ear every 3-4 hours. Alternatively put a few drops of lavender and chamomile oil onto some cotton wool and use it to plug the ear. If the eardrum has been perforated do not insert anything into the ear.

Ear Infection remedies from the bedroom

Elevate the head

Ear ache is normally worse when laying down since it prevents easy drainage of the Eustachian tubes. Elevating the head when applying a compress or when sleeping may help drain the Eustachian tubes and relieve pain.

A quiet nurturing room

A good night's sleep is one of the easiest ear infection remedies there is. You should aim for at least 8-10 hours of deep, unbroken sleep. Make sure your room is dark, quiet and peaceful. If you can't get to sleep or wake during the night, then some relaxation music, an engrossing book or a meditation tape can be helpful.
