Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


Journal of Infectious Diseases - June 1, 2005 issue

An ear infection study done with rats found that essential oils were effective with 81% while with the placebo group it was only effective with less than 6%. Most importantly, they did not need to put the oils directly into the ears.

Keep this in mind for those suffering babies so often dealing with this issue. The vapors from oils such as Basil that are applied around the ear or diffused, have 'bacteria-killing' effects that may be able to reach the infected area.

A therapeutic grade quality oil will assure relief and save a great deal of suffering for these helpless babies.
