DIY Swimmers Ear Relief Liquid

This stuff works wonders! In my house, we refer to it as "Cure-All", because we use it for almost everything, from bug bites, to bumps and bruises, mystery rashes, and ear aches!

It SHOULD go without saying, but just to be safe~THIS IS FOR TOPICAL USE ONLY! DO NOT INGEST! DO NOT PLACE IN EYES OR MOUTH.

Follow me for the recipe~

Swimmers Ear Relief
I added all of my ingredients to a 2.7 oz. Bottle. You can easily find these bottles in the Trial Size/Travel section of the Health/Beauty aisles at many supermarkets (Wal-Mart, Meijer, Target, etc...) I actually found mine at my local Dollar Tree store!
1 oz. Rubbing alcohol
1 oz. White Vinegar
2 drops Tea Tree oil
2 drops Lavendar oil
2 drops Frankincense oil
Add each ingredient to your container. Shake well before use. May be applied with Q-Tips, cotton balls, or fingertips, if necessary.
