Cut up, mince or crush the garlic cloves.
Place the garlic and the mullein into a glass jar.
Cover with olive oil. Try to have as little air in the jar as possible. So, if you are making a small amount of ear oil, use a small jar. For a larger batch, use a larger jar.
Add the lid and let sit for 6 weeks. Try to remember to shake or turn over the mixture every few days.
When ready, strain the oil using a muslin cloth doubled over or a fine strainer. Make sure that no particles of the flowers or garlic pieces are left in the oil.
Pour the strained oil into a glass, amber dropper bottle.

Gently warm the oil to body temperature by placing the bottle in a glass of hot water for a few minutes.
Then, have the person lay on their side with the affected ear facing upwards. Drop 1 to 2 drops into the affected ear.
Let them rest in this position for up to 10 minutes.
Then, hold a tissue to the ear or use a cotton ball to catch any excess oil that may come from the ear as they sit up.
Repeat 2 to 3 times a day.

Place the dropper bottle in a cool, dark place.
The oil should be at its best for around 12 months, though always check before using.
Keep out of reach of children.

To test the ear oil before using, apply a small amount to your wrist. This is important for children.
For young children, try massaging a drop of oil into the outer ear canal.
Make sure to get plenty of fluids and rest while dealing with an earache. A warm compress may also help ease the pain as well.
