Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves to release their natural compounds.
Warm the olive oil gently in a small pan over low heat (do not boil).
Add the crushed garlic to the warm oil and let it steep for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.Strain the mixture through cheesecloth into a clean jar, discarding the garlic solids.
Allow the oil to cool to body temperature (test on your wrist).
Store in a dark, cool place for up to a week.
How to Use Safely:
Lie on your side with the affected ear facing up.
Use a clean dropper to place 3–4 drops of the warmed oil into the ear canal.
Stay in position for 5–10 minutes to let it soak in.
Tilt your head to drain excess, gently wipe the outer ear.
Repeat 1–2 times daily for up to 4–5 days if needed.
Follow with gentle warm water rinse if comfortable (optional, using a bulb syringe).
Many find this helps promote a clearer feeling over a few days.

Safety Tips and Precautions You Should Know
While many use these ingredients without issues, safety comes first:
Always test the temperature—too hot can cause burns.
Never insert anything deep into the ear canal.
Stop immediately if you feel irritation, pain, or dizziness.
Avoid this method if you have a perforated eardrum, recent ear surgery, ear tubes, active infection, or discharge.
Evidence from reputable sources like Mayo Clinic emphasizes that while olive oil is generally considered safe for softening, garlic oil lacks strong proof for earwax removal and may cause irritation in some people.
