Ear infections can wreak havoc on our health and wellness. They often end up creating terrible and debilitating pain that for some people is chronic and lasts days without end. Children in particular are prone to developing them and it’s heartbreaking having to see your child suffer through the throbbing aches and pains.
Instead of enduring an earache or visiting the doctor, try this age old self-healing trick. It’s called “the magic salt sock” and all you needs is a clean, plain, all white, cotton sock and about 1½ cups of coarse sea salt. Pour the sea salt into the sock before tying it up and closing it off with a knot.
It’s vital that you use these exact two “ingredients” since no alternative versions of them will be nearly as effective. If you fail to use a plain cotton sock that is completely all white, and instead go with one that has even just a colored line on it, you’ll likely end up melting or even burning it.
There is something in the coloring which makes them highly flammable, so be aware and use caution. The sea salt also matters because of the larger sized, more coarse granules it comes in and its ability to retain heat. Regular old table salt won’t work and will just seep out of the sock, so don’t substitute it in place of the sea salt!
The next step is to warm up a skillet over medium-low heat before placing the salt sock in the pan. Allow it to heat up for about 4-6 minutes and every minute or so flip it over and shake it up so that it heats evenly all the way through. You’ll know the sock is done when it’s very warm to the touch, but not so hot that it might burn you.
Finally, all you have left to do is place the heated sock over your aching ear, making sure that it also rests on the area behind your jaw. Sit back and relax as the salt works to alleviate the aches and pains, while simultaneously helping to draw out any toxins in the ear. It’s that simple!
This is one of the best ways to naturally and effectively decrease any discomfort or inflammation in the ear that’s causing you pain. In addition to its natural healing properties, warm sea salt is also antiseptic and can draw out any moisture that may be in the ear.
Furthermore, the magical salt sock can be reused many times safely and effectively, but it will eventually discolor and you should replace it when it becomes worn, dirty, or old. Putting a cup or two of sea salt in a sock, warming it up on the stove, and placing it over your ear may be just the thing your body needs to feel better.
It’s cheap, all natural, and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Many people have found soothing comfort and relief with this simple remedy and if you ever have an ear ache or pains, give it a try and see if it works. Pass this information on to your friends and family, they may find it extremely useful and beneficial as well!

People are constantly searching for alternative ways to help treat their health conditions and disorders. Many turn to homeopathic remedies in an effort to naturally balance and heal their mind, body, and soul. One of the most popular and effective treatment methods is hands down auricular reflexology.
It’s an easy, all natural way to help treat a variety of health issues and people have found that by using the simple techniques associated with it they could dramatically relieve pain and discomfort associated with many common ailments. Reflexology is the stimulation of a reflex point to relieve and help regulate abnormalities between different body parts.
By massaging and applying pressure to specific points located on the ear you can help bring about physical changes to your body. Reflexology works by increasing blood flow and stimulating the nerves in the ear. Those nerves all connect to form a network that reaches different areas of the body, such as our main organs and glands, and different areas on the ear correspond to certain body parts.
Those who suffer from chronic pain, headaches, digestion issues, sleep problems, and more have found relief by pressing, holding, and massaging specific touch points on the ears that are associated with the area in which the problem stems from. In some cases people have even lessened the effects of both colds and the flu with ear reflexology.
One common treatment method involves placing a clothespin on the part of the ear that matches up to the area on the body where any pain or issues are coming from. It’s incredibly simple, easy to do, and can be done in the comfort of your home for free. For more information on ear reflexology in general, and how you can use these points to help manage pain and achieve stress relief, check out the accompanying video.
Below is some additional information on the topic and another alternative self-treatment you can try that covers a different ear point. This one involves a relaxing massage you do with your fingers, instead of applying pressure with a clothespin.

The point is called the Shen Men point which in Chinese means “heavenly gate.” It’s located in the apex of the triangular fossa of the ear, which is in the upper mid-center part, above the opening of the ear canal and the surrounding folds. This is the most active treatment point and it can be used to treat stress, anxiety, allergies, headaches, addictions, inflammatory diseases, depression, pain disorders, and more.
To activate the Shen Men place your fingertips on the points and massage them in a circular motion, rotating while applying a bit of pressure, for at least a minute or longer each time. Try to do it at least once or twice a day to help enhance your bodies overall energy flow and to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Even if your skeptical about whether or not this works, you really have nothing to lose and potentially lots to gain by giving yourself a massage. At the very least you will feel more at ease, relaxed, and comfortable. Try it today and pass this along to others to help them find comfort and better health in their own lives.

What relief he must feel now that the horror that lived in his ear is gone, an opportunity to hear the world once more.. Why is it that we love to watch disgusting videos? The bigger the pimple, the longer the ingrown hair, the more we want to watch it – often times repetitively. ”
It’s the same kind of thrill people get from, say, riding a roller coaster or bungee jumping – it activates the experience the typically comes with a real kind of danger while actually being protected from the harmful effects typically associated with those situations,” says Daniel Kelly, author of Yuck!
The Nature and Moral Significance of Disgust. “Disgusting things tend to capture the attention pretty easily, and (surprisingly) it’s been found that people are more likely to pass along and tell their friends about something that’s disgusting versus something that isn’t.”
Nina Strohminger, author of The Hedonics of Disgust points out that “negative sensations are interesting, particularly when you’re in a context where they can’t hurt you. Sit back relax and feel the odd satisfaction of a man relieving the blockage in his ear! Enjoy the video!

Vet Saves Paralyzed Dog’s Life By Noticing Something Strange On His Ear Right Before He Was Going To Be Put Down
When Falline Fate’s dog Ollie suddenly started showing signs of health problems she immediately took him to the vet for a check up. The ten year old Border Collie was experiencing mobility issues that were getting worse with each passing day. Seeing him struggle to walk and stand was breaking her heart and she was naturally very concerned about her pets health.
The reason for the dog’s rapid deterioration was a mystery, up until recently he had been active and healthy his whole life. The vet had found no indications of head trauma or broken bones and cancer was ruled out as well. Soon Ollie’s condition had progressed to the point where he was completely unable to move and he’d stopped going to the bathroom. With his quality of life so low and no improvement in sight, the Fate family decided that it was time to put him down.
They brought Ollie to the vet for his final visit and were waiting with him when an intern noticed a tiny black speck on the back of his ear. Upon closer inspection the spot turned out to be a dog tick. The doctor realized that the tick could be the cause for Ollie’s unexplained paralysis and within a few hours he had his answer. Ollie was rapidly regaining his mobility and already up on his feet moving around. His illness had been tick borne and he was finally diagnosed with tick paralysis.
Tick paralysis is an extremely rare condition that results when a lot of specific conditions are met. Only a few types of ticks actually carry and transmit the neurotoxin that causes the paralysis and it must be a female, on the dog for 5-10 days, and even then it may not cause anything.
Luckily the one on Ollie was spotted just in the nick of time and he was spared certain death. He’s now back at home living his old happy life and his story is getting out there so that others know the importance of thoroughly checking not only themselves, but also their pets for ticks. If you ever do find a tick, here’s how to properly remove it:
All you need is a cotton swab, water and good lighting. Take the cotton swab and quickly dip it in water to slightly moisten the tip, which will help make it glide smoothly along the skin. Place the cotton swab tip on the back of the tick so that it’s slightly angled, and not directly over it. Push the tick around in circles so that it rotates around it’s axis, or hypostome which is its mouth part. After about 3-5 rotations the tick should release its bite and back itself out of the skin. Now you should be able to pick up the tick with the end of the cotton swab and can dispose of it properly. Also, you’ll want to try and remove it as soon as possible, the quicker you can get its head out of your skin the better, because doing so greatly reduces the chances of infection.

Do You Have a Constant Itch In Your Ear? THIS Is What It Means..
One of the worst possible areas to get an itch is inside your ear. If you’ve ever experienced this then you know exactly how insane it can make you feel. All you want to do is itch the darn spot but you simply cannot reach it! It’s torturous and makes you wonder why your ears even itch in the first place, after all it’s kind of an odd spot.
Itchy ears may be caused by several different things. Some people are naturally predisposed to having them because the neurological fibers that line their ears are highly sensitive. This increased sensitivity can lead to more frequent feelings of itchiness, as compared to the average person. Another factor that causes it is dry skin. Everyone knows how flaky and itchy dry skin feels and oftentimes a lack of ear wax can lead to the insides of our ears feeling very uncomfortable.
Our ears are naturally sensitive even if you don’t have the extra-sensitive fibers mentioned above. As such, any disturbance or sudden change can lead to a person developing itchy ears. Some of the most common causes include ear infections, allergic reactions, irritation brought on by a hearing aid or headphones, too much water in the ear, and even psoriasis can trigger the unwanted feelings.
The accompanying video goes over these and additional causes in greater detail so be sure to check it out. While most people’s itchy ears are minor and clear up on their own, some may be a cause for concern. If other symptoms accompany them such as bleeding, intense pain, discharge, draining, or hearing loss, you should consult a doctor immediately in case it’s because of something more serious.
While your first reaction may be to stick something in your ear to try and itch the spot, that’s the worst thing you could do. Whenever you stick anything into your ears you’re making them dirtier and increasing the odds of developing an ear infection or potentially something even worse.
Every year there are countless numbers of people who injure and damage their inner ears because they stick things, usually Q-tips, way too forcibly and far up them. Yet people continue to stick things in their ears in vain attempts to scratch their itch. Doing this is ineffective and just pushes any wax that may be in the ear canal further up into it, thereby increasing the potential for build up and blockage. Whatever you do, don’t use Q-tips to try and clean or itch your ears!
Instead, try one of the following all-natural and effective home remedies to treat a minor case of itchy ears:
Warm Oil- You can use the following oils to relieve itchy ears; olive, coconut, vegetable, diluted tea tree, or coconut. Warm up about a teaspoon full to a comfortable temperature and then use a dropper to place a few drops in your ear. Tilt your head to clear the oil out after a minute or two and clean up the excess oil.
Hydrogen Peroxide- Mix equal parts water and hydrogen peroxide. Tilt your head to one side and use a dropper to place some in your ear. Tilt your head back and allow the liquid to run out, repeat if necessary, and dab up the remaining liquid as it drips out.
Aloe Vera- Place 3-5 drops of aloe vera in your ear, allow it to sit there for a few seconds, then tip out. The Aloe vera will coat the inner ear and help to restore pH levels back to normal. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and thus helps soothe and heal irritated, dry, itchy ears!
Alcohol and Vinegar- Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and distilled white vinegar in a small bowl. Soak a cotton ball in the liquid and then tilt your head so that the ear you want to treat faces upwards. Gently squeeze the cotton ball to release a few drops into the ear opening and wait 5-10 seconds. Straighten your head and dab up the remaining liquid as it drips out with a tissue. Don’t overuse this one because rubbing alcohol can end up drying out ears.

Apparently If You Massage This Spot On Your Ear THIS Happens!
Let’s face it, we all suffer from stress in our day to day lives. How we handle it is key to our life satisfaction, so I always pay attention to new information in the medical community that could be of help. Dr. Mark Sandomirsky has begun to spread a new technique, that he has been teaching his patients. New to Western medicine, it has proven to be an effective way of relieving stress.
The emotional stress we experience can be manifested into physical pain. Some of us somaticize our stress through head pain, stomach pain, neck stiffness and back pain among other body parts. Accupressure has been shown to relieve many areas of pain in the body.
There appears to be a point on the outside of the ear, that has the ability to relieve stress better than most. It is known in Chinese medicine as “Shen Men” (“The Gate of Heaven”). By putting pressure on this point, that is illustrated in the video below, it is believed that energy is infused to the entire body. In so doing, overall health is improved and stress is reduced to a manageable calming level.
Watch the video so that you can target the exact point, which Dr. Sandomirsky says is best massaged with the tip of a Q-tip, as this point is in a small space in the upper part of the outer ear. Deep breathing while you massage the Shen Men point makes this accupressure more effective; turn your head to the left when you inhale and to the right when you exhale.
