Natural Remedies for Earache & Ear Infections

2. Warm Compress: Quick and Simple Relief

Heat therapy is a classic method to relieve ear discomfort. A warm compress improves blood flow, reduces swelling, and relaxes the muscles around the ear.

You’ll need:

  • A clean cloth

  • Warm water

How to use:

  1. Soak the cloth in warm water and wring it out well.

  2. Place it over the affected ear for 5–10 minutes.

  3. Repeat several times a day for best results.

Tips:

  • Avoid using water that’s too hot to prevent burns.

  • Do not press too firmly on the ear.
