Curing earache

contributed by watusi 23 Jan | 10:30

When I was younger and had earache my grandma warmed some olive oil and then dipped a bit of cotton wool in it. I then had to lay on my side all night, and in the morning my earache had gone. This was a remedy she used as a child. Most effective.
