How to Make a Garlic and Olive Oil Earache Remedy

Earaches are no fun. They are also dangerous if left untreated. So before I share this recipe for my earache oil, I need to tell you to make sure you go to the doctor right away and get the medication you need. However, sometimes I have an earache in the middle of the night and the doctor's office doesn't open until the morning. I'll apply the oil at night and see if I feel any better. I still go to the doctor, however, even if the earache is gone--and so should you--just to be safe.
