Choosing the Right Ear Oil
I have created three variations of ear oil, each with a slightly different focus.
GARLIC EAR OIL
– A traditional choice where microbial balance is the priority. Garlic-infused oil has been valued for generations in supporting ear comfort in the context of minor bacterial concerns.
EAR OIL WITH LEMON MYRTLE
– Enhanced with lemon myrtle essential oil, rich in citral compounds with strong topical antifungal activity. This blend may be particularly useful where itching or fungal imbalance is suspected.
MULLEIN EAR OIL
– A simple, gentle infusion of mullein leaf in olive oil. Traditionally used to soothe irritation and calm inflamed tissues, this is the mildest and most straightforward option, especially suitable for sensitive cases or regular maintenance.
Each oil is designed to be gentle yet effective, allowing you to choose the one best suited to your needs or keep more than one on hand for different situations.
