Preparation
Step 1
After the excess debris is removed from the ear, lightly spray the inside of the ear flap or spray a cotton ball with my Homemade Essential Oil Dog Ear Wash Spray and wipe around and it to the ear canal. You do not want to drip oils or cleaners into the ear canal because they will end up collecting on the ear drum where they can cause infection. By using a light spray mist you can lightly distribute the essential oil blend without over saturating the area.
Shake bottle well before using. Use once a week to treat ears that have an ear infection or once a month as a preventative measure in ears that are prone to recurrent ear infections
If ears are especially inflamed or infected, dilute 2 drops of lavender in 4 drops of fractionated coconut oil on a cotton ball and apply lightly to soothe the inflamed ear area.
