I got an old eye drops bottle - tiny. Cleaned it and put 1/4 of Lugol's (I used 7%) but 5% will be ok. Fill up the rest of the bottle with cooled, boiled water and then stick the dropper bit back on. I put 3 drops, into the ears 3 times a day for the next 4 days and the pain from a severe ear infection, tinnitus and deafness all vanished, never to return. That was several years ago and it still hasn't returned, and had suffered every year, for many years, and it was untouchable by antibiotics. It should work against a fungal infection, too.
Lugol's is always in my cupboard. I also got rid of a urine infection last year with it.

Lots of great info here. Regarding %, skin, etc. Iodine does not have a liquid state. It sublimes from a solid to a gas. If you apply lugol's, a mixture of elemental Iodine (the dark colour) somehow suspended on alcohol and potassium iodide dissolved in water( clear solution preferably super saturated I think) you will notice that it (the dark colour) disappears over time. The rate at which it disappears depends on how lacking in iodine your body is. If you have adequate levels of elemental iodine (not the KI) it will disappear slowly as your body seems to only assimilate what you need and the rate of disappearance is slow as sublimation to the atmosphere is the main removal of the Iodine. If you are low and most in Australia are, the dark colour will disappear slowly. So if you are concerned about toxicity, time the initial application and see if the time decreases. Personally, I use 10% (occasionally) without any problems. I also keep KI for use in preventing and curing, particularly, air transmitted infections via a few drops of supersaturate. Apparently KI can cause more problems if overused, but I have not seen any indication in myself or my farm animals whose basic remedies are Iodine, Vit C injection, cayenne pepper, etc.Replied by PaintyLiz from Ft Worth TX on 07/08/2026
I know this is an old post but has anyone tried this? What were your results? What if Lugol's is mixed with peroxide? I have had tinnitus for 2 years & would love to get rid of it. Thanks for any help!
