10 Home Remedies For Ear Pain
Home Remedy #8: Olive Oil
Olive oil is oil extracted from olives. It is commonly used in cooking and salad dressing. Other common uses include it being added into soaps, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and as fuel for oil lamps. It is also commonly used as a home remedy for dandruff, stretch marks, and as a moisturizer.
In folk medicine, it can be used as a home remedy for ear pain. Although there is no concrete scientific evidence that shows olive oil can be beneficial for ear pain, the American Academy of Pediatrics have reported that several drops of warmed olive oil into the ear canal may help soothe ear pain. Ensure that the olive oil is not warmer that the body temperature to avoid burning the eardrum.
