5. Tobacco smoke directly into the ear
Tobacco is one of the most ancient plants that we’ve been cultivating for thousands of years, and there are many ancient ritualistic uses associated with the tobacco plant – no, it’s not just something that goes into a cigarette, and we’ve changed the compounds of the original plant with additives and bleach that a cigarette and a tobacco plant aren’t nearly the same thing.
If you have access to rolling tobacco, which doesn’t contain many of the same additives that you’d find in a ready-rolled cigarette out of a pack, blowing a mouthful of smoke directly into the ear can bring relief to earache.
It’s one of the most ancient treatments for general ear pain and an ear infection, and there are still thousands of people all over the world today who swear by it as a treatment. If this still doesn’t work for you, then combine it with another method on this list.
