Onions for ear ache

Onions are great for an earache, just slice it in half and put it over the ear hole. Leave it there for a half an hour at a time or till the pain subsides.

Excellent tip!!   add on Comments By: Anon My mom used to heat up the onion, wrap it in a teacloth and then she would have me lean on it like an ear muff and my earaches were almost always caused by wax buildup pushing against my ear and the onion made the pain go away and pulled the wax out.

Comments By: Niki This may work for mild earache course by wax build up by losening it, but for earache caused by infection - It does nothing and just delays seeking appopriate medical attention.   waist of time!!!!
