Natural Remedy for Ear Infections

Posted by Stephanie


According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the routine use of antibiotics against pediatric ear infections produces little health benefit while contributing to the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. This is good news for parents who are willing to try a natural remedy for ear infections.

Contrary to past speculation, studies have concluded that the number one cause of ear infections in children is food allergies. The greatest culprit is milk with 50% of infections being stopped when milk is eliminated from the diet. Parents are confused with the need of milk in their child’s diet and the need for calcium. Calcium can be gotten from other food sources. Stopping juices and processed sugars will eliminate 50 to 70% of the remaining infections. Viruses also play a role. However, even with the best diets, a child may still get an infection.

A Simple Solution

The simple solution is to put a few drops of breast milk in the ear canal every few hours. This usually works to clear up the infection within 24-48 hours. If the mother is not breastfeeding, it is likely she knows someone who is. All that is required for the treatment is about one half ounce of breast milk, so obtaining that from another mother will work just as well.
