Lay a square of cheesecloth or a thin cloth over the jar and secure it with a rubber band.

Keep the jar in a warm place for 1 week. Every day, swirl the jar a bit to make sure the cloves stay coated with the oil. After the 1 week is up, strain off the garlic and pour the oil into small glass bottles with a droppers.

How to Use the Ear Oil:
Warm the bottle by placing it in a pan of warm water. Test it on your wrist until it is a comfortable temperature.
Massage a few drops of oil behind the ear. Use a circular motion and massage downward along the neck, following the Eustachian tube and lymph glands. Massage in front of the ear also.
As long as the eardrum is not ruptured, you can place a few drops of the oil in the ear. Place a cotton ball in the ear and then repeat the treatment in the other ear.
