How to get ride of a ear infection naturally?

If you don't get ride of it soon enough it can cause permanent hearing damage. Back in the 60's (approx) they used to have over the counter drops to ease the discomfort of ear infections in kids, well the parents just used that and never got the kids antibiotics and it just kept getting worse until it caused permanent hearing loss.

If you have an infection it's really best to get some antibiotics. BUT if youre set on natural remedies, put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear twice a day. It sounds like a moth fluttering around but it cleans the infection, and makes it feel a lot better. Then stick a cotton ball in there and lay with your head on a heating pad with the ouchy ear down on the pad.


BUT if it doesnt get better within a few days you really need antibiotics, as an out of control ear infection can lead to hearing loss.How to get ride of a ear infection naturally?

Some practitioners believe that food allergies may increase the risk of ear infections, and they suggest eliminating suspected food allergens from the diet. The top food allergens are wheat, dairy products, corn, peanuts, citrus fruits, and eggs. Elimination of sugar and sugar products can allow the immune system to work more effectively. A number of herbal treatments have been recommended, including ear drops made with goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), mullein (Verbascum thapsus), St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), and echinacea (Echinacea spp). Among the herbs often recommended for oral treatment of otitis media are echinacea and cleavers (Galium aparine), or black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba). Homeopathic remedies that may be prescribed include aconite (Acontium napellus), Ferrum phosphoricum, belladonna, chamomile, Lycopodium, pulsatilla (Pulsatilla nigricans), or silica. Craniosacral therapy uses gentle manipulation of the bones of the skull to relieve pressure and improve eustachian tube function.
there are many herbs that have antiviral, antibacterial, antibiotic, etc properties. I take golenseal most of the time. There are strong herbs out there. Barberry, Oregon Grape Root,etc..
