Thought maybe we could use a thread to post suggestions or questions on home and herbal remedies....

I am desperate for something that will help my aching ears. I'm not sure if it's due to allergies or my headset at work (i'm on the phones with a headset all day)... I'm in pain and it's not an ear infection (yet).. any thoughts?

I'm taking a nasal spray for my allergies and my sinues are feeling fine for the first time in a long time - but now my ears hurt. sigh. can't win.

Not sure if this will help but...http://medindia.org/HomeRemedies/Earache.asp

To the ones on the page mauvais gave you I would add this: heat a clove of garlic in a few tablespoons of olive oil, cool and add a few drops of tea tree oil. Put 2-3 drops of this oil in your ears every evening until the pain is gone.

Also if you're having waxproblems you may want to try ear-candles. They're kinda creepy at first, but I think they really work.
