Its becoming that time of year when flu and colds are prevalent. Ear infections are often a secondary infection from sinusitis, a cold or the flu. Sinus drainage while sleeping can be a culprit and children may wake up in the middle of the night in pain With babies, it's difficult to tell if your child is suffering from an ear ache. They might be crying uncontrollable and/or pulling at the ear. The ear may also appear red and hot to touch; some infections will produce minor drainage if severe, see your Dr.). Instead of running to the ER in the middle of the night try Basil Essential Oil.
Basil essential oil is known as the "warm blanket" of essential oils because it is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious just to name a few "anti's"! Basil Essential Oils is also cheaper than OTC or presciption medications and 2 drops costs .16 cents!!
This short video by Dr. Hill quickly explains how essential oils work, how to apply them, and how Basil Essential Oil can be used in treatment for an ear infection. I love the little kid eating in his high chair. He doesn't miss a beat while Mom easily applies the oil! Its so easy!
