- Crush or mince garlic.
- Put it in a clean glass jar with lid.(Baby food jars are great)
- Leave it sitting on the counter and gently shake it every time you pass by for 4 or 5 hours.
- Strain off the oil and either discard the garlic solids or save them to use in a recipe.
- Put the oil in a dropper bottle.(Preferably glass).
- For use when having ear pain or sore throat: Put two or three drops of oil in each ear, twice a day, once in the morning and again at night.
- Place a cotton ball in the ear for a few minutes to absorb any excess oil.
- Keep oil in the refrigerator and warm gently rolling the bottle between your hands before using.
- NOTES:.
- It gets slightly solidified in the refrigerator. More is NOT better.
- Ears need to be able to "breathe"/get oxygen.
- You should make fresh ear drops every two or three days. I keep mine three days -- I've never had a problem with "spoilage".
- You can make less if you will only be using it for one person.
