5 Peppermint or peppermint oil

Peppermint oil and fresh peppermint leaves are also used to relieve earache. Crush some fresh peppermint leaves and put 2 drops of the juice into the ear. Peppermint oil, however, isn’t put directly into the ear. It’s too harsh and can increase pain. If you are going to use peppermint oil, use it externally around the opening of the infected ear. You will need a clean cotton swab.
