Apply behind the ear ...

A client, a very nice lady, has been using storebought herbs for the last 40 years or so. She told me that, way back when, when her kids were small and got the usual earaches, she used to rub Echinacea tincture behind the ear that ached. If that didn't help she used to rub Ech tincture on the earlobe as well. (Europeans use Echinacea purpurea, mostly.)

Cool, no?
