Dried garlic is the star of the show, with wildcrafted mullein leaves and organic olive oil. Garlic and mullein work together to soften and facilitate the removal of secretions/ear wax buildup. They both can provide gentle pain relief and anti-inflammatory support for throbbing ear infections. This can also be used externally as a chest rub, as the garlic can help with coughs and congestion related to the lungs. It is best to avoid this oil if you have ruptured ear drums or implants. ACTIONS: Anti-inflammatory Mild Pain reliever DOSAGE: It is best used when warm. You can warm the bottle in your shirt for 5 minutes, then apply 3-5 drops of oil to the infected ear. Let sit for 15 minutes before tipping the oil out onto a cotton ball or cloth. Repeat as needed every few hours. NOTE: This is a 1 ounce bottle.
