Ear Infections
Sweet oil has been used to treat ear infections for many years. It is only safe to use sweet oil if the ear drum has not been punctured. If there is no infection in the ear it is safe to heat the oil and place it in the ear with a dropper. The sweet oil loosens the excess ear wax and helps the ear to drain naturally. The heated substance will relieve pain as well.
