Willow/GarlicEar Oil ???????
Has anyone used this? I was wondering if it works or not.
So What Happened?™
Thank you all for your help. My nephew has Smith-Maguinus(sp?) syndrom. One of the symptoms is cronic ear infections. His ears litterally puss and bleed almost all the time, I think he has had 2 or 3 sets of tubes and he is only 3 years old. So thank you all for your help. And I will let me Sister-in-law know all this wonderfull advice.

I have not used that but my doctor recommended 'Sweet Oil' - I found it at Meijer and just put a little on a q-tip to apply lightly

I have used a homemade garlic ear oil on my kids since they were little and it has been extremely successful. Helps soothe the pain and cleans out the infection naturally. I make mine with garlic, vit. E, olive oil and cloves, warm it up and drop it in. Of course, rest, nourishing food and strong immune systems also help. Taking out dairy and sugar and also strong recommendations. I am a Holistic Health Counselor and this is what I tell my clients.

I have not used the above combo but have heard it works if
your gonna use it for pain. White willow is the equal of
aspirin in its natural form. Garlic oil is supposed to be
good for all around health. the garlic oil would be the
liquid you need to use it as an ear drop. if you are having
wax buildup or water in ear i am not sure if it would work
for that or not. sometimes if you put liquid in an already
plugged ear it would not do any good.

I use Tea Tree oil on both my kids. Put a few drops in and their good. Never had ear infections!
Works great and it's 100% natural. I have a 16 year old and a 4 year old.
You can buy it at Meijers, Walgreens, Kmart, Health food stores.
Keep out of eyes, etc.

I have never heard of such. Do you put it inside the ear, is it used to get infections/wax out?
H.N. answers from Detroit on February 13, 2008
I am not sure why you are asking, but if it is for ear infections you should try coning(sold in health stores). I have always suffered from horrible infections in the spring and was unable to stop the severe pain. Last year it was the worst so when my friend suggested trying this I was willing to try anything. The pain stopped almost instantly and hasn't returned as of yet.

Just today I was researching natural remedies for ear infections and came across a recipe for garlic oil ear drops so if it's the same thing, I hear it works.
