Yes, I Have

I had a recurring ear infection for over 6 months. Not enough for a fever, but enough to give me a bad earache, a bad headache, and a lot of dizziness. I would use olive oil, mineral oil, heat pads, and a few other things. Sometimes, but not always, the pain would go go away for a few days, then return.

I decided to try Lavender Essential Oil, (not the 40/42 stuff, but the 100%) because it cured so many other things for me.

At first, I put a few drops on cotton balls and stuck that in my ears. It made them feel good, but the cotton balls kept falling out.

Then, I tried putting some on a Q tip. I had to hold that in my ears. Can you imagine me going around holding a Q tip in both ears. Sort of looked stupid, although it did stop the pain.

So, I decided to put Lavender drops IN my ears. I put about 3 drops in one ear at the time. I placed a heating pad on that ear for about 30 minutes while lying down on the opposite ear. Then, I did the other ear.

It opened up my head. I actually could hear cracking noises. Then I had a lot of drainage from my sinuses and started breathing better.

I have only had one infected ear occurrence in a year. I did tell my doctor what I had done. He made no comment.
