Use a cotton swab or dropper to apply 1–2 drops into the ear canal opening (not deep inside) once daily.
Allow to sit for a few minutes, then wipe away excess with a clean tissue.
Serving and storage tips:
Store the oil blend in a cool, dark place for up to 1 month. Always shake before use and use clean tools to avoid contamination.
Variations:
For sensitive skin, omit tea tree oil and use just coconut and olive oil.
Add a drop of lavender oil for soothing scent and skin-calming properties.
Warm the oil slightly (not hot!) before applying for extra comfort.
FAQ:
Why do my ears itch so much?
Common causes include dry skin, eczema, allergies, fungal infections, or earwax irritation.
Can I clean my ears with cotton swabs?
It’s best to avoid inserting cotton swabs deep into the ear. They can push wax further in and irritate the skin.
Is tea tree oil safe for ears?
Yes, but only when diluted in a carrier oil and used externally or just at the ear opening.
When should I see a doctor?
If itching is accompanied by pain, hearing loss, discharge, or swelling, consult a healthcare provider.
