Earache Pain Soother

To ease or stop the pain of an earache, heat an onion half in a microwave for 2 minutes, or until warm but not hot. Wrap it in a soft cloth or paper towel, apply the flat side to your ear and hold for 15 minutes. The heated vegetable emits sulfur, an anti-inflammatory gas that easily penetrates the ear canal to relieve pressure and pain.

I haven't tried this, but I think I will, because I have earaches sometimes. I have a neighbor who swears by this.
