Lavender for Middle Ear Infections

For middle ear infections, saturate a cotton ball in olive oil, drip 5 drops of lavender oil onto it and place it on the outer part of ear affected.  The lavender oil will help relieve the pain and inhibit the inflammation that often accompanies ear infections.

**This is not a treatment or alternative to doctor visits, only an aid to alleviate the pain associated with ear pain and ear infections that are typically treated with over the counter pain reliever**
