Ear infections are very common, especially in small kids. Unfortunately, they cause discomfort and intense pain which can be unbearable. If you experience ear pain, it’s probably caused by an ear infection or inflammation. As we already said, ear pain is probably the worst thing that can happen to you, so people often turn to ear drops and antibiotics to relieve the pain.
You’ve probably didn’t know this, but the best part to relieve ear pain is by using a sock and some sea salt.
Here’s what you need for the simplest ear pain remedy:
- One cotton sock
- 1 ½ cup of sea salt
Warm a skillet on the stove on a medium heat. Place the sea salt inside the sock and tie it. Place the stuffed sock in the pan and let it heat for 4-6 minutes. Place the heated sock on the affected area. The heat will relieve your pain, absorb toxins and heal the ear infection. Sea salt works as an antiseptic and can eliminate moisture from your ear. This super easy remedy is safe for kids and adults too.
So next time you experience ear pain, grab a pair of socks and sea salt!
