Natural Cures: Ear ache

Ear ache remedy: Vinegar and Isopropyl alcohol

Posted August 15, 2008

My friend worked in a pharmacy and she said the actual content of most ear drops is 90% white vinegar and 10% alcohol. The best thing to do is apply a three drops of Isopropyl alcohol followed by three drops of white vinegar. Lay down on the non-aching side for 10 minutes to allow for the solution to work. Flip to the aching side and lay your aching ear on a damp hot towel until it cools down (you can reheat and repeat up to four times). Take an extra strength Tylenol and you should see results within 30 minutes.
