Keep Your Ears Clear with Similasan Homeopathic Ear Relief Drops #naturalremedies

During the summer, my boys and I spend a good amount of time swimming. We don’t have a pool ourselves, but we can be found at our local lake four days a week for swimming lessons. With the twins (five) in their second year of lessons, they are starting to put their heads under water for the first time. This is leading to another first – water stuck in their ears. I tried showing them how to jump up and down on one leg while tilting their heads to the side, but that didn’t really work so well.

When it comes to my family, I want to make sure that anything that I put on or in their bodies is all natural and free of harmful chemicals. Similasan is committed to helping people feel better and provides homeopathic remedies that offer relief from a variety of ailments. Similasan’s Ear Relief drops help to clear trapped water in the ear using only natural active ingredients.

We wound up using these drops a few times last week after getting home from the lake. Trying to get ear drops into a child can be a challenge, especially the younger they are. The last thing you want to do is physically hold your child down. For my five year old who needed this, I found that an iPhone with Angry Birds open was the perfect distraction. I was able to tilt his head to the side and get the drops in while he played the game. A cotton ball in the ear will help keep the drops inside so that your child can sit up straight again. It took a few minutes but eventually his ear did feel better and no longer clogged. I know I hate when I get that clogged sensation in my ears from water so I am glad that there is a product to easily remedy that for him.

With everyone spending extended time in water during the hot summer months, it is good to keep Similasan Ear Relief on hand in your home. Keeping your ear’s clear of water will reduce the chances of developing Swimmer’s Ear, which is no fun at all.

Did you know- Similasan Ear Relief was the #1 Pharmacist Recommended ear drop formula for the 10th year in a row!
