FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY:
Lean head to the side so that the ear is facing upward. Place 3-6 drops of Compound Mullein Oil into the ear just before bedtime. Do not insert the dropper directly into the ear. Gently insert a cotton ball into the ear to prevent leakage. Remove cotton in the morning. Repeat for 2-4 weeks as needed.
Contraindications
Consult your physician if you have ear pain or infection. Do not use if eardrum is perforated.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Children with chronic otitis media have lower serum levels of zinc, vitmin C and antioxidants. All should be added as supplements. Exposure to second hand smoke is a contributing factor to recurring ear issues and even more importantly, consumption of dairy is a major causative factor for many children. Eliminating dairy from the diet (milk, cheese, yogurt) can bring about major improvements in some children.
ADDITIONAL USEFUL HERBS
Oral doses of Echinacea and Eyebright tinctures are useful, as is Elderberry syrup or tincture.
