In a small saucepan or heat-safe bowl, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the crushed garlic to the oil and heat the mixture over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let the oil boil, as overheating can destroy the beneficial compounds.
Step 3: Strain and Store
Once the oil is infused with the garlic, strain out the garlic pieces using a cheese strainer or fine mesh strainer.
Pour the strained garlic oil into a sterilized dropper bottle.
Label the bottle with the date, as homemade garlic oil is best used within 1 week. Store the oil in a cool, dark place or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
How to Use Garlic Oil Ear Drops
Application Step-by-Step:
Heat the Oil:
Before using, warm the garlic oil slightly by placing the dropper bottle in a bowl of warm water. Test the temperature by placing a drop on your wrist—it should be warm, not hot.
Clean the Ear Area:
Gently clean the outer ear with a damp rag. Be sure not to insert anything into the ear canal.
Apply the Drops:
Using the dropper, place 2-3 drops of garlic oil into the affected ear.
Rest:
Lie on your side with the treated ear facing upward. Stay in this position for 10-15 minutes to allow the oil to work.
