Ear Drops & Mullein Drops

Ear pain can be caused by fluid build-up in the ear or hardened wax. Ear drops can help reduce the fluid pressure or melt the wax which then flows out of the ear. Use ear drops with caution. Always read the labels carefully before using them. If the ache does not subside after a few days, see a medical doctor or request a proper prescription.

Apply mullein drops into the infected ear. It’s been found that oil extracted from the flowers of the mullein plant have pain-relieving properties which can be used for ear infections [2]. You can purchase mullein at your local health store or buy herbal ear drops with mullein as an active ingredient.
