Information on Ear infections
Ear infections are a very common complaint and can affect adults as well as children.
Otitis media (infection of the middle ear) affects the area behind the ear drum. A build-up of fluid and pus behind the ear drum leads to raised pressure in the ear, pain and loss of hearing.
Infection in the outer ear canal, called Otitis Externa, can cause inflammation, pain, discharge from the ear and itchiness. Chronic Otitis Externa can also predispose people to recurring infections of the middle ear.
There are a number of possible causes of ear infection, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. Colds and allergies may also have a role to play when they cause inflammation of the Eustachian tube, blocking normal drainage of the ear and leading to middle ear infection.
In many cases, ear infections recur after conventional treatment and may become chronic and difficult to get rid of. Recurring ear infections may also lead to permanent hearing loss if not treated properly.
Symptoms of an Ear Infection:
Common signs and symptoms of an ear infection are:
-
Pain, throbbing or aching in one or both of the ears
-
Itching of the ears
-
Fever
-
Reduced hearing
-
Dizziness or loss of balance
-
Nausea and vomiting
-
Discharge or bleeding from the ears
-
Difficulty falling asleep (especially in younger children)
What is the conventional treatment for ear infections?
Conventional treatment of ear infections generally involves oral antibiotics and sometimes medicated drops. Though often effective in clearing the initial infection, antibiotics may compromise the immune system, leaving you vulnerable to recurrence and chronic infection. Antibiotics are also not effective against fungal infections of the ear.
How can natural remedies help?
Natural remedies can effectively reduce the pain, inflammation, throbbing and discomfort of ear infections and treat the underlying causes without the side-effects and lowered immune functioning so common with antibiotic use.
Natural remedies can also be very effective in the prevention of recurring ear infections, thereby guarding against hearing impairment caused by chronic ear infection.

Allium sativum (Garlic) has been used for centuries to treat infection and was popular even during the Plague of London in 1665. Garlic can kill almost every kind of bacteria but is especially effective against organisms that cause disease, like E. coli and S. aureus while leaving normal, protective intestinal flora unharmed. Clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of garlic in the treatment of a wide range of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. This natural antibiotic is also an excellent tonic for immune system functioning, allowing the body to protect itself from infectious organisms.
How do I use Ear-OK?
Ear-OK Drops come in a convenient 30 ml glass dropper bottle.
DIRECTIONS
Acute: Apply 1 - 3 drops directly into the ear in the morning and last thing at night. Rub ear gently to distribute oil. Continue use for approximately 5 days after symptoms have cleared to completely eradicate the infection.
Chronic: Apply 1 - 3 drops into the ear twice a week as a preventative.
CAUTION
For use in the ear only. Do not ingest. Discontinue if sensitivity to any of the ingredients occurs.
NOTE: Use concurrently with Ear-Heal Drops (adults and children over 10) or Eddy Ear Sprinkles (children under 10) for maximum effectiveness. Ear-Heal and Eddy Ear Sprinkles are intended for internal use to build up the immune system and treat the ear infection from the inside, while Ear-OK Drops are applied directly into the ear for fast relief.
How long until I see results?
Improvement in discomfort, itchiness and pain should begin almost immediately after applying the drops and will continue to improve over 5 - 10 days of regular use.
How long will a bottle last?
One 30 ml bottle of Ear-OK Drops will last for 20-40 days, depending on the dosage taken.
