Well it's that time again where illness and infections run rapid and infect everyone that does not have a strong enough immune system. Ear infections are one of the main complaints in children during this time of year. The little ones get out in the cold wind and have snow ball fights and all it takes is a snow ball upside the head right on the ear and your little one could be complaining about ear pain that night. Snow isn’t as pure as it was when we were kids these days snow is filled with bacterium. There is an herbal remedy that will have your little ones ears back to normal in no time. Follow these instructions and you will have successfully made your first herbal medicine.

Materials:

1 amber bottle with dropper-Amber is very important to the quality of herbal medicines.

1 wide mouth jar- Any clean jar will do as long as it will hold all the olive oil.

1 cup Echinacea herb

1 cup Goldenseal herb

4 Garlic cloves- Peeled and minced

• 1 bottle of extra virgin olive oil

Instruction:

First you want to roast the garlic in the oven at 350 degrees until it is golden brown, don’t burn it or it will be useless. You roast the garlic because it causes the medicinal properties to be excreted. Next put the herbs and garlic into the jar. Now dump all the olive oil into the jar with the herb mix, leaving at least 2 inches of air space at the top. Let the mix sit in a dark cupboard for a week shaking it once a day. After a week strain the mix discarding everything except the oil. Put the oil into a separate clean jar for storage in the cupboard for up to a year closed tightly. Fill the amber dropper bottle with some of the oil for use when needed.

When your little ones complain of an ear infection, instead of nasty antibiotics and a doctor’s bill use the ear drops by dropping three drops of the oil into the ear canal for 3-5 days three times a day. Allow the oil to run into the ear canal by having your child lay on their side for 2 minutes for each ear treated. This herbal medicine is as effective as a prescription antibiotic but without the side effects.
