St. Francis Ear Oil is an herbal remedy formulated to help relieve the inflammation, pain, discomfort, and itching associated with ear infections, whether from swimmer's ear, or non-specific dermatitis of the external ear canal.
Product Notes:
The primary ingredients in this natural ear drop formula are Mullein and St. John's wort, to ease the topical pain; Calendula (and Mullein, again), to heal the tissue; and Garlic, to fight the infection.
This is called an Ear "Oil" because it's delivered in a base of high quality olive oil (which makes it appropriate for removing excess earwax), but make no mistake – it's also a formula for Ear Ache Relief, and a highly effective one, at that. These two studies by Sarrell et al. found this combination of ingredients to be as effective in reducing the ear drum pain and other symptoms of acute otitis media as a prescription anaesthetic treatment:
