So the past few days I have come down with a cold and ear infection. Pretty painful atm but I’m keeping on. Something strange I noticed. I’m having these sharp shooting pains in my ears and sinuses and when I take a snuff of my hedges, bout a minute later I feel fantastic as if I don’t even have an ear infection. Can anyone explain this as for my love of snuff just grew ten fold. Also how do I convince my family that the snuff did NOT cause the ear infection lol. Please and thanks for any help guys.

And no…I’m not putting the snuff in my ears hahaha

First line under medicinal properties…good for ear aches…HA!! I’ll just have me another snuff then won’t i. Thanks for the read @basement_shaman

I use an ear drop oil made with mullein flower and garlic combined, seconding Basement Shaman’s recommendation. Lately I’ve been making it but there is a good one available from Herb Farm on amazon or vitacost. I also use it on my cats when they get ear mites. Seems to fix that up. They won’t take snuff.

I found non-menthol tobacco snuff to be a great relief to sinus problems. I started taking snuff originally because I had a chronic fungal problem in my sinuses and was told my only option was surgery. Taking snuff fixed me right up, weird as that sounds. I used to get ear infections frequently. I’m not sure why those stopped. Maybe the sinus and ear infections were connected. No idea. Seems likely.
