Chop 1 bulb of fresh garlic. Place the garlic in a double boiler, and cover with 1/4 inch of coconut or olive oil. Cover the pot, and warm the oil gently over low heat for one hour.
Strain the oil through a piece of cheesecloth, and store it in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator. To use the garlic oil, place a small amount in a metal spoon and heat it gently over a flame until warm.
Suction the oil up into an ear dropper, place a couple of drops into each ear canal, and plug the canal with a soft cotton ball. Repeat this every hour or as needed. (Do not use garlic oil to treat an external ear infection or if you suspect a punctured eardrum.)
Pioneer Mom's Note: This is one recipe I appreciate a lot. I have used it several times effectively on our children. After dropping a few drops in one ear, I often blow some warm air slowly into the ear, before I plug it with a cotton. They love it!
