This is amazing! I've had severely plugged ears (Eustation Tubes), off-and-on for months now! I tried it all; or so I thought! This charcoal/olive oil concoction worked almost immediately! I mixed several capsules (4-5) of activated charcoal (messy getting the capsules open) into a dropper-type bottle. I used a small funnel, and then added approximately 3 teaspoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Shook the bottle well, and then turned my head sideways and squirted a few drops into my ear. Be careful not to put too much in, as the oil is charcoal black and runny. Have a wipe of some kind, nearby. I then placed a piece of cotton ball in my ear, after the oil started to roll into my ear and then lifted my head slowly up. Within a few minutes, I felt relief, and after about 10 minutes, I could actually hear clearly through the cotton! I cannot thank you enough, Rosemary!

I have suffered Eustation tube dysfunction BADLY multiple times and never knew what it was until recently when the doctor diagnosed it. For me it shows up in swollen mouth, tongue, bruxism, and swollen glands. My ear hurt too but it wasn't the most painful thing. I've had this reoccurring situation every few years for the past 12 years or so.
I came here and used the Zaditor and it did very much give me *some* relief. I also found youtube videos on exercises to clear the eustachian tube and that helped as well. But then it came back. I felt so sad.
It seems to be related to my digestion, I seem to have pain at the same time as gas and bloating.
Because of that I decided to take activated charcoal. Then I read online activated charcoal could help ear infections. So I mixed activated charcoal and olive oil and put it in my ear with a Q tip.
Instant relief. Wow. Mouth swelling immediately went down. I am so happy and grateful! I hope this helps someone else.
