Garlic and olive oil remedy

I was suffering from acute ear ache for a week when I came across a natural remedy which promised relief from pain imediately - crush a fresh garlic clove and pour some extra virgin olive oil on it ( a table spoon would be enough). Leave to set for an hour so that the antiseptic properties of the garlic wouild seep in the oil. Then, with a pipette or a cotton bud, pour some of the oil in the ear. The pain should clear within minutes.

Earache remedy

I would like to confirm what Barbara says about the "tinkling" to cure an earache. While I was working in a factory years ago, a black lady told me the same thing. She also said that it had to be the person's own tinkle. She said she used this method for her children.

A Most Unusual Remedy

Now, this may be repulsive to many, but I learned this from some back country folks, and it does work. I have tried it on more than one occasion. Tinkle in a cup, and using your own urine, and with the help of a fearless friend, pour it while still warm in the offending ear. Leave it in for three or four minutes, and the ear ache will be gone. I know, it sounds icky, but it truly works.

For a Mild Case of Earache

In the case of a mild earache, and if you know someone who smokes cigarettes, have them softly blow smoke in your ear several times. It seems to dull the pain! I have tried this myself, and also have blown smoke in someone elses ear with good results. This is from a southern back country family. I dont smoke, but one time, smoking found a good use.
