Onions are great for flavoring a dish, or maybe for unintentionally making you cry.
But did you know they’re also great for ear ache?
Ear ache is caused by infection and can be really uncomfortable, but now you don’t need to go out and get any remedies if you’re struck with it late at night.
Using an onion for ear ache is one of the oldest techniques in the book.
Of course, it’s not like you’re just going to take an onion to your ear. This may sound a little gross, but the technique that works best is to extract the juice from the onion, and put it in your ear.
Juice the onion into a bowl, and make sure there aren’t any chunks in it. Either use the onion juice directly into your ear, or mix it with warm olive oil before placing into your ear. Obviously use a very small amount.
Why an onion? Onions are naturally antibacterial and antibiotic.
Try this remedy! Of course, if you feel like it’s a serious infection, go see a doctor, but if you feel like it could be treated at home, feel free to follow this tutorial.
