"The next topic that we're going to talk about is, earache. And garlic is one of the very best herbs for earache. Garlic is an absolute wonderful herb, it's a natural antibiotic, and it has been referred to as a most natural penicillin. Its infection fighting qualities are very powerful, and work without the side affects, that can be attributed to many antibiotics. In fact, garlic has been used for centuries to fight infection. Now to treat an earache, you would place a clove of the garlic in the ear, as much as you would like to place an hearing aide, that's how you would do it, you would simply place it on the ear, not inside the ear. And what's going to happen is, any infection that you have, any infection that you have in the ears, all the juices are going to go inside the ear, and it will treat the infection. Be sure that you do not put the clove in the ear canal, but simply rest it on the outside of the ear. The oils of the garlic will get inside of the ear, and start killing the bacteria, that in term will lessen the pain. In addition to this, you can also take garlic internally, to help fight the infection. Some people even swallow the entire clove of garlic, two to three times per day, or even if you want to take it more than that, that's absolutely fine. For adults it's pretty easy to take it internally, but for children, simply use the method where you would place the clove on your ear. That is the best remedy for earache."
