Option 4: Onion Compress – A Traditional Warm Poultice
One often-overlooked remedy is a simple onion compress. Onions contain compounds such as quercetin with anti-inflammatory properties. While scientific evidence is limited and largely anecdotal, many people find the warmth itself soothing.
Simple steps:
-
Chop or slice a fresh onion and warm it gently (microwave briefly wrapped in cloth or sauté lightly).
-
Wrap the warm pieces in a thin, clean cloth.
-
Ensure it is comfortably warm—not hot—and apply over the ear for 10–15 minutes.
-
Repeat as desired, avoiding direct skin contact that could cause burns.
The warmth alone can provide meaningful comfort.
