I have been fortunate enough to have only one bout of ear infection with my two children (touch wood). I had never heard of this remedy but next time myself or my child is wriggling in pain I will definitely be giving it a try. Basically all you do is warm the salt in the sock or other cloth ( a draw string bag would be good too ). For the full tutorial and a lot more information on WHY this helps check out this educating blog post. What are you remedies for a ear ache? Share below. Rock Salt For Ear Infections.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)
Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster
Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.
That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.
What Are Calm Down Sheets?
These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.
They’re perfect for:
Rage coloring during a hot flash
Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly
Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils
Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative
Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause
There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.

The salt in the sock definitely works, it’s an old remedy. also sleep propped up which helps too. You won’t get a lot of sleep, but it alleviates the pain until you can see your doctor for treatment.
Thank you for the link! This is a new one on me – and I have an earache right now, from the cold night air blowing so hard, tonight. The question is whether I can find a white sock, lol.
Can you use rock salt? Like standard ice melt salt? Or does it have to be strictly sea salt?
