Curing ear infection naturally?!


Question: Curing ear infection naturally?
i've had an ear infection for about 2 weeks and the medicine is obviously not working because i still have the ear infection and it gave me a yeast infection on my tongue. i can't sleep or eat because of this and i just want it to go away without any more chemicals in my body, any ideas?

?Take a washcloth full of hot water and wring it out. Hold the hot washcloth onto the infected ear until it cools. The moist heat increases the circulation and reduces the swelling and the pain. This will not reduce the infection but will likely provide comfort.

?2
Take 1 tbsp. of pure almond carrier oil, add 2 drops of lavender essential oil, 2 drops of chamomile essential oil and 3 drops of tea tree essential oil. Mix the oils and heat them up. Put 2 drops of this warm oil mixture inside the infected ear twice a day for comfort.

?3
Chewing gum--or food for that matter--will open and close the mouth causing the eustatian tube (where an ear infection typically resides) to ventilate and may allow for drainage. This may help to relieve some pressure from the infection and provide comfort




Tips & Warnings
Another way to use the warm oil treatment to relieve the pain from an ear infection is to rub the oil mixture onto the inside and outside of the ear itself and the affected side of the neck..An even faster way to get rid of pain from an ear infection is to get the oil mixture hot, dip it in a cloth and use the cloth as a compress on the infected ear. Don't make it too hot or you will burn your ear..If you have a punctured eardrum, do not put any oil or drops in the ear canal..For those who seem to get a lot of ear infections, you might be allergic to certain foods such as dairy products, egg whites, wheat, peanuts or soy..Those who get a lot of ear infections might also have too high of an intake of fatty foods..Antibiotics prescribed by your health care provider are your best bet at eliminating ear infections. Use home and natural remedies in conjunction with medical treatment from your physician..

hope it helps
