16. Hydrogen Peroxide

Medical News Today

Hydrogen peroxide is a natural remedy for earache, and it is in fact found in many ear drop solutions. Earwax is also known as cerumen, and because hydrogen peroxide is a cerumenolytic, it can be used to soften and dissolve excess earwax. Although ear drops containing hydrogen peroxide are readily available, you could also make your own solution. To do this, mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water. Add 5 to 10 drops in the affected ear, and lie on your opposite side for 10 minutes to allow the solution to sit in your ear. Afterward, drain it out, and rinse your ear with cold water. It is best to consult with your doctor before using a homemade solution.
