how to use oil of oregano for ear infection
Hello Gabriel, I heard that oil of oregano can be used for ear infections. Can you guide me on this?
Bonjour! Yes, Oregano oil is reputed to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's important to remember that it should not be placed directly into the ear canal. It must always be diluted first.
I see, so how do I actually use it?
A commonly recommended approach is to mix one drop of oregano oil with half a teaspoon of a carrier oil like olive or coconut oil. Then soak a cotton ball in the mixture and place it in the opening of the ear. Note that you should NEVER drip any type of oil directly into your inner ear as it can cause additional problems.
That's good to know, Gabriel. But how long should I leave the cotton ball in?
You can leave it in for a few hours or overnight would be ideal. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, I would strongly recommend seeking professional medical help. Natural remedies can aid, but serious infections need professional attention.
Thanks for your advice, Gabriel. I'll definitely keep these in mind.
You're welcome! Remember, your health is important. Don't hesitate to seek medical attention when necessary. Au revoir!
