Informative Articles on Natural Therapies of Healing

NOTICE: It is not the intention of this web site to present it's advice offered as though coming from an authoritative, trained, professional source. While we infrequently quote authoritative sources, yet most of the site's advice comes from untrained persons, who are sharing their experiences of healing. While these are significant to most people, yet they don't constitute professional advice, and we say this, not just because we dread the FDA, but because the FDA has a legitimate role in protecting the citizenry from private citizens masquerading as doctors. While we think they have assumed to themselves an exaggerated role in this endeavor, yet there is a truth in it, and in that respect we offer this candid disclosure.

Ear aches are a very common ailment in young children for many reasons. While they seem a rather harmless malady, they can become very serious under certain circumstances. Our daughter Emily got meningitis from an ear ache.... a malady from which most people have permanent defects if they survive. An ear ache can also be a persistent infection that won't go away even with the most potent antibiotics. A friend once called me whose daughter had exhausted ALL of the standard medical treatments with no effect, and I could hear her wailing in the background. I shared with him the method I now share with you, and I got a call from his daughter about 2 hours later, sweetly thanking me for the info.... and completely over her ear ache.
Take a clove of garlic and press it in a garlic press. Put the crushed garlic in about 1-2 oz. of olive oil. (Other oil will do, but olive oil is much better) Stir this up for a few minutes or so. Have the child..... or adult for that matter.... lay on their side, the infected ear facing up. Fill that ear with the garlic oil... not the garlic.... the oil. Next get a capacious pan of hot water, and two rags. Put the rags in the hot water, and take one at a time and place it on the ear. It should be used as hot as the patient can stand it without burning. It should feel too hot at first, and then the patient should acclamate. If the patient does not acclamate, (get used to it), it is too hot. Try it out on the soft side of your wrist. If you don't acclamate to it there, it will feel too hot on the ear also. If its too hot, then let the rag cool in the air a bit before putting it on. Do this for about 15-20 minutes, changing the rag every minute at the most. The idea is simple.... you must keep the ear blazing hot for that whole amount of time. IF you do this, it will work. The relief should be felt within a couple of minutes of the commencement of treatment, but keep it up anyay. Repeat treatment within 4-8 hours, and repeat it at least once when there are no symptoms.... unless the ear ache is exceptionally bad, this means you will ususally only have to treat it twice.
The only problem you may face is the problem of your water cooling off. If you fail to keep the ear NICE AND HOT the remedy WON'T WORK. I like to place a towel around the pan to insulate it from heat loss, and a lid also helps. If you have to, refill with hot water as needed. And remember.... a heating pad WON'T WORK. You must have wet heat, and sometimes I think the arguments against EMF's are valid. (Electro magnetic fields).
