And in my experience infection itself is completely gone within 24-48 hours. Honestly.

I tried this with my oldest son back when he was having so many ear problems, and I was simply astounded at how well it worked. And even better: His infections stayed gone much longer with this remedy than they did when he was taking prescription antibiotics.

I've of course discovered many other alternative remedies in that time. For instance: If you don't have garlic on hand, you can use onion to treat ear infections too. Just cut off a small piece of fresh onion and use it like garlic above, or put a few drops of fresh cut onion juice in ear.

My love affair with Garlic was just beginning of a 15 year relationship and learning experience. Because it was so successful, I began earnestly learning about a variety of other herbal remedies and homeopathic techniques. And I've used them almost exclusively - and quite successfully - on all 4 of my children since.

So if you have a child up all night in pain from an ear infection, try a sliver of Garlic. You'll probably be just as amazed and thankful as I was :)
