Olive oil for earaches? Yes, but only if done right. 🫒👂

1️⃣ Warm extra virgin olive oil (test on your wrist!) 2️⃣ Lie down and put 2-3 drops in the affected ear 3️⃣ Rest for 10 minutes 4️⃣ Drain onto a tissue

Olive oil acts as a natural lubricant. It can help soften hardened earwax (a common cause of minor earaches) and soothe the irritated skin inside the ear canal. The warmth of the oil also provides a comforting sensation that can temporarily distract from the pain.

⚠️ Do NOT do this if fluid is leaking from your ear or you think the eardrum might be ruptured. This helps with wax buildup/mild discomfort—not serious infections.
