Feature Friday- tea tree oil remedy for ear infection

Ear infections can arise unannounced and can become quite painful very quickly. For example, I went to bed with a blocked ear and within a couple hours the pain woke me up. 

Tea tree is a natural anticeptic and when mixed with a carrier oil like olive oil it becomes a fast acting remedy for an ear infection. 

Remedy Recipe: 

1 cotton bud 

1 tbsp olive oil 

10 drops Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil

1. Mix ingredients together in a small bowl with a cotton bud. 

2. Use saturated cotton bud to gently wipe around the inner ear 

3. Lay down with injured ear facing upwards for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow oil to seep into ear canal

4. Repeat 3 times daily for 2-3 days

It is always best to seek advice from a doctor, but if you're in agony this remedy will get you through the night!
