22. Aromaterapy in Timbuktu: the earache

Earache is so widespread in Timbuktu that I had it after a month. It must be the desert wind that carries the poisoned dust from the roads into people’s ears. Fortunately, I had already gained experience treating the population before this happened to me, so I didn’t suffer from it for more than a day.

If one day you get an earache and you have no medicine, simply use warm olive oil in the ear. This grandmother’s remedy works well, but I always add a drop of lavender to the olive oil for greater effectiveness. And it was with this lavender oil that I continued to treat my earache in Timbuktu with great success.

But I had brought very little lavender with me, my supply, due to the many sick people, was dwindling fast and I thought I had to find a replacement remedy. I thought of Anti Sharks because it contains a lot of lavender and it is anti-inflammatory.

It is fantastic, the pain disappears immediately, it leaves a freshness in the ear and you can almost feel it curing the pain, replacing it with pleasure and relief.

You only need one drop per ml. of olive oil and use 3 to 10 drops of the remedy depending on the capacity of the ear orifice. I have often seen that one application is enough, but in most cases, 3 days of treatment with 3 applications a day is enough. Anti Shark is simply composed of the essential oils of Lavender, Geranium, and Peppermint.

Earaches can degenerate into very serious conditions, and the case of little Buyah illustrates this best. His recovery in 8 days illustrates once again the amazing power of Anti-Sharks.

This is what he looked like when his mother brought him to me. The child was in a lot of pain, he couldn’t eat nor sleep at night, his gaze struck me, it wasn’t a child’s gaze.

The neck, chin, and cheek below the ear are swollen. It is colored red and shows a strong inflammation.

The mother is very concerned. I immediately used the Anti Sharks pure and gave the mother a bottle of the essence in olive oil to use at home.

The first day after treatment with Anti-Shark. The swelling has spread to the eye, but the colour is no longer red. I thought there was a worsening but the mother told me that the child suffered less and was finally able to sleep at night. So, I decided to continue the treatment without resorting to antibiotics.

At 4 days. The child suffers less and has begun eating again, the swelling is going down and the mother is feeling reassured.

The abscess has formed under the ear, the swelling on the eye is down, it is a very painful acute phase. In addition to the Anti Sharks, I wet the abscess often, to favour its bursting. Every day the child is better.

Second day.

For another three days, Buyah’s mother did not return to me with him. I know that when this happens, it’s a sign that all is well. Despite this, I was wondering how my sick little one was doing. That is exactly the moment when I see them arriving.

      Thank you for informing me. do not hesitate to ask me any time. I am glad to be able to share what I know. My course can be downloaded freely, only a few pages, only a few essences but it is a treasure. Every indication is a jewel coming from 25 years of practice. It is so easy to overlook these few pages. the remedy for the earache and the way to use it was there also. If you add notes to my course (in a different colour) about your experiences and discoveries in using these 6 essences, I would be glad to read them so as to maybe learn something from your experience with them. In the meantime do not hesitate to ask me, be it for a headhache. I am always glad to be given the opportunity to help, do not be afraid to disturb me. salaam@profumo.it

    Dear Olive and Oud, The Anti Shark essence that I use for abcesses is composed of Lavender, Geranium and Pepermint. To me the most important of the 3 for this pathology is the Geranium. You should try it. See also frrom my course online the cortisone-like properties it has. They are remarkable.

    Thank you, Salaam, for this post and for your aromatherapy course. My husband has had an abscess for several days and he is stunned by how much lavender and peppermint essential oils have helped.
