Whether it’s constant trips to the doctor’s office, ‘swimmer’s ear’ in the summer, or even discomfort when little teeth pop out, ears can really be a place our kids need support. And we have that covered! Here are some of our best tips for handling the bumps in the road when it comes to healthy, happy ears (and some of them may surprise you!)
There are a lot of things that can affect our children’s ears and cause discomfort:
- Acute immune system needs
- Travel, especially in planes
- Air quality changes
- Exposure to water, especially with chlorine
- Improper drainage, drainage pathways being blocked
- Improper gut balance, Candida overgrowth
So, when we talk about having healthy, happy ears, we will be talking about supporting other areas of health as well!

IMMUNE SYSTEM & THE EARS
When we have immune system needs, our ears are often one of the areas affected. Whether it is from increased mucus production, pressure on the small passageways in the ears, or drainage through nasal passageways, the ears can become uncomfortable with acute needs.
These oils and products are our mainstays when it comes to immune health, which is crucial for healthy ears! Grab a few and build your support cabinet. Use the oils in roller blends (recipes below!), add to bath salts, even diffuse.
Thieves essential oil blend
Thieves is THE oil when it comes to immune health. This blend of Clove, Rosemary, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus and Lemon boasts some incredible antimicrobial properties, making it a great choice for supporting the immune system.
Lemon essential oil
Lemon is a wonderful natural mucolytic, making it a great choice for both immune and respiratory support! Cleansing and purifying, this citrus oil can help break up things lurking in the chest or around the eardrum.
Frankincense essential oil
Frankincense is a powerhouse overall – antioxidants, respiratory support, and immune support! Add this oil to your chest rub, roll it on the spine, around the ears, or add to epsom salts for an immune bath.
Inner Defense softgels
Inner Defense uses germ kicking essential oils including Oregano, Thyme, and Thieves to reinforce systemic defenses, promote healthy respiratory function, and offer immune support. These liquid capsules dissolve quickly for maximum results and help the body create an unfriendly terrain for yeast and fungus. For younger children, we love to poke a hole in the capsule and apply it to the bottom of the feet or along the spine.
DIFFUSER & ROLLER BLENDS
GUT HEALTH & THE EARS
It may seem strange to talk about gut health when what is grabbing your attention is ear discomfort, but in many cases Candida or other overgrowth in the gut can cause ear issues! It is important to work with a trusted clinician if you have known imbalances, but there is a lot you can do to support gut and ear health on a daily basis as well!
