**Making Mullein oil for an earache is not hard to do**.  One method of making it~is to cook a bunch of Mullein flower/leaves in olive oil in a crock-pot for several hours on the lowest setting.  Keep it covered and allow it to completely cool with the lid on.  I like letting mine set over night in the crock-pot.  The next morning use some cheese-cloth strain the mullein from the olive oil add a touch of Vit. E (for a natural preservative).  Store oil in a dark bottle and keep out of sunlight. Use two-three drops of the mullein oil in your ear and place a small bit of cotton in ear to keep the mullein oil in place. I repeat this process at least 3 times a day for my own earaches.

I am not giving any medical advice, always contact your medical doctor before trying any herbal remedy.  This is a recipe I personally cook and something I do for my own earaches. If you have questions always contact your medical doctor FIRST.
