How to treat swimmer's ear naturally

Swimmer’s ear is something many of us get to deal with at some point in our life, if we love swimming. It is caused by either Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Both bacteria thrive in moist environments, why it is critical to keep those ears dry after showering or going swimming.

The common treatment route will be antibiotics, but if this becomes an often scenario, we might want to check out some natural remedies, as no one wants to take antibiotics too frequently.

In this study they compared conventional antibiotics to natural antibiotics, which have shown to be quite efficient against both bacteria strains as well:

“In summary, we demonstrate here that cassia, Peru balsam, and red thyme essential oils are more effective in eradicating Pseudomonas and S. aureus biofilms than selected important antibiotics, making them interesting candidates for the treatment of biofilms.”
