Crush the garlic cloves gently 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’s just lukewarm.
Using a clean dropper, place 2–3 drops of the oil 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 avoid burns.
Do not insert raw garlic directly into the ear canal—it can irritate delicate tissue.
If you have a ruptured eardrum or drainage from the ear, avoid this remedy and see a doctor instead.
