Antiseptic essential oils such as Lavender and Tea Tree can be diluted in Olive Oil and rubbed around the outside of-never in-the ear and over the lymph nodes on the side of the neck. If the ear problem is caused by a throat infection, be sure to also use an Antiseptic gargle. Hot compresses soothe pain in the ears.
Always treat both ears, even if only one hurts, and continue treatment for several days after the pain is gone to make sure the condition does not return.
