Salt Ear Sock

How To Make A Soothing Salt Sock For Earaches

You’ll need:

• 1 clean, cotton sock. Longer socks are better because you’ll need to tie the ankle section in a knot in order to keep the salt in.
• 1-1½ cups coarse sea salt (I’ve also used epsom salt with good results)
• a few drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

Pour salt in the sock and tie the ankle section in a knot. Place sock in a clean skillet over low/medium heat, flipping often to ensure that the salt is warming evenly. When it is very warm (but not so hot that it will be uncomfortable), apply a couple of drops of essential oil directly on the sock if desired. Place the warmed sock on the ear and allow it to sit there for as long as you wish. Repeat the process if desired.
