Warm the olive oil slightly to make it more comfortable and using a dropper or small spoon, place a few drops into your ear while tilting your head to the side. Massage the area around the ear gently for a minute using circular motions to help the oil reach the ear canal. Stay in this position for 5-10 minutes before letting the oil drain out. Repeat if necessary, but avoid overuse to prevent ear irritation.
