1️⃣ Gently crush the garlic clove.
2️⃣ Wrap it in gauze to make a small pouch.
3️⃣ Warm it slightly by placing it near the towel (not too hot).
4️⃣ Place the pouch near the ear canal—never insert it into the ear.
5️⃣ Leave it for 10-15 minutes while you rest.
⚠️ Precautions
❌ Do not use if you suspect a perforated eardrum (symptoms: severe pain, watery discharge, or hearing loss). ❌ Do not insert raw garlic directly into the ear canal.
🌡️ Always test the temperature of the oil—it should be warm, not hot.
👩⚕️ Seek medical advice if pain or infection persists.
💚 Final Thoughts
Garlic is more than just a kitchen spice—it’s a time-honored natural remedy backed by science.
Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, garlic oil and warm compresses can help relieve discomfort, promote hygiene, and maintain healthy ears.
However, use with caution: natural doesn’t mean risk-free.
For chronic problems, children, or severe pain, always consult a healthcare professional before using any home remedy.
