Basil is a herb with many therapeutic properties. Basil is rich in antioxidants and also contains powerful antibacterial properties. To use the basil, crush five fresh leaves of sacred basil very gently to get the juice out. Apply the basil juice to and around the affected ear. Make sure the juice does not enter the ear canal. You can also mix a few drops of sacred basil oil with an equal amount of coconut oil and soak a cotton ball in this mixture. Wipe the inside of the ear, the periphery of the ear and the back of the ear with the mixture.
Tea tree oil
Tea tree oil has a number of amazing therapeutic properties, including antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, antimicrobial, fungicide, insecticide, balsamic, expectorante and stimulant.
All these properties make tea tree oil an excellent herbal remedy for pain or ear infection. Mix a few drops of oil with a tablespoon of olive oil and warm up lightly. Fill a clean dropper with the mixture and place it in the infected ear. Lie on your side with the oil in your ear for about three minutes. Turn your head to remove the oil.

Repeat the procedure every day until the pain goes away.
