Mullein & Garlic Ear Oil

Mullein & Garlic Infused Olive Oil Ear Drops — Soothing support for minor ear discomfort and inflammation. 

This traditional herbal blend features fresh mullein (Verbascum thapsus) flowers and organic garlic (Allium sativum) gently infused in extra virgin olive oil.

It is a popular natural option for supporting ear comfort during times of minor irritation, wax buildup, or mild inflammation. 

Key Benefits & Traditional Uses

•  Mullein flowers: Rich in flavonoids (such as luteolin, quercetin, apigenin), saponins, iridoid glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides, and mucilage. These contribute to anti-inflammatory, soothing, demulcent (coating), and mild antimicrobial effects. Mullein oil is classically used to calm ear canal inflammation, loosen wax, and provide analgesic relief. 

•  Garlic: Contains potent sulfur compounds like allicin, ajoene, and other organosulfides with well-documented antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. These help combat common ear pathogens and reduce discomfort. 

Studies on combination herbal ear drops (including mullein and garlic) show they can be as effective as anesthetic drops for reducing ear pain in children with ear pain.

Together, they also offer moisturizing relief for hormonal dryness and itch, plus traditional support for ear comfort. Many users find it effective for perimenopausal ear issues and general seasonal irritation.

 Suggested Use (Dosing): Warm the bottle in your hands or warm water until it reaches body temperature. Lie on your side and apply 2–3 drops (1 drop for young children) into the affected ear. Gently massage around the ear. Stay on your side for 5–10 minutes to allow absorption. Use 2–4 times daily as needed, up to 3–7 days. Repeat on the other ear if needed. Always test temperature on your wrist first. 

Important Disclaimers & Safety

•  For external use only. Do not use if the eardrum is perforated, ruptured, or if there is any drainage, pus, blood, or sudden hearing loss from the ear — this requires immediate medical attention. 

•  Consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for children, during pregnancy/ breastfeeding, or if you have an active infection, severe pain, or fever. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

•  These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

•  Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening and use within a reasonable time (6 months to a year) to minimize any risk of bacterial growth in infused oils.

•  Patch test on skin first to check for sensitivity. Discontinue if irritation occurs.

•  Garlic can cause skin irritation or burns in sensitive individuals if too concentrated.

This makes a wonderful natural addition to your wellness routine for seasonal ear support. Always prioritize professional medical advice for serious ear issues.
