Ear infection help

Got an ear infection?  I do.  Still taking antibiotics for it but they don't help much for a day or so so what should you do till they kick in?  Use oil's of course.

What kind of oil's?  Well Basil is one of them.  But it is important to use this right. NEVER EVER put oil's into your ear. 

Well now that that important bit of information out of the way on to how you do use it. 

Take a cotton ball and add 2-3 drops of basil to it and hold it too your infected ear and rub it along the outside.  The vapors are what is going to do the work here.  Repeat this every 2-3 hours.

Basil gone Pesto

Ahh this has to be my favorite variety of basil ever.  It is extremely beautiful to look at and wow.......smells just like a pesto sauce. 

It's not like other basil's.  It does not come in seed form you have to propagate it....or better yet just go to a reputable plant store that sells a good variety of herbs and buy it there....it's better that way. 

It can get bushy like some of the other basil's do if you prune it often but it is a bit slower growing that some of the other basil's. 

When you prune prune just like you would any other basil and cut the tops off.  Dry them and save for a spaghetti day.  Oh yea I said spaghetti....add a little of this herb to the sauce and man oh man does it make that sauce taste great.

Use this like you would any other basil but do be aware that it is a pesto basil so it may not go with your salad.....but hey why not give it a shot....you may like it.
