Have You Tried These Bizarre Home Remedies?

10. Try Lemon Juice for Earaches

Earaches can be very bothersome. Luckily, you have the cure for them in your fridge right now! Lemon juice has long been known for its antiseptic and antiviral properties, usually on the surface of the skin. However, it can also be used to cure an earache. Simply squeeze some lemon juice into a bowl and dip the end of a q-tip into it. Gently roll the q-tip around in the ear (making sure to stay superficial so you don't puncture your eardrum), and the lemon juice will do the rest. The acidity in the lemon juice will help both destroy the bacteria causing the ear infection and rebalance the pH level in the ear.
