#4 Winter Problems
The winter season brings with it a host of problems. Chapped lips, snowed in driveways, weather that makes you not want to go to work at all. Although we can't help you by making the weather warmer,we can still help you out in other ways.
What other ways? Well we have already shown you how to handle chapped lips, remove frozen ice off your windshield and even how to make your house warmer.
So what new trick will we be teaching you today to help you deal with winter?
#3 All You Need
A common occurrence in winter is an ear infection. It could happen at any time to any member of your family. Don't worry. Today we give you a hack that will provide instant relief from your ear infection.
All you need are some white socks and course Epsom salt. You'll need about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Epsom salt for this remedy, or just enough to fill the foot part of the sock. It really is that simple...
#2 Heat It
Through the sock's opening, carefully pour the Epsom salt inside. (A wide-mouthed funnel would work great for preventing any messes, too!)It's important that the salt is rather course because otherwise, granules might slip through the sock's fabric.
Add a knot or two on the sock's "neck" to prevent any salt spillage. Add your salt sock to a skillet on medium-low heat, flipping back and forth until the salts are warm but not hot. This step requires special attention. Ensure that the sock is white and not colored as the dye in a colored sock is more likely to catch fire.

The salt can heat very quickly and burn, so we suggest heating it in 5 second increments. Give the warmed salt sock to the ailing member in your family and watch as their ear ache wanes.
You can use the salt sock again and again using the skillet reheating method. While the sock might get a bit worn looking over time, you can simply empty out the Epsom salts and add to another sock, then continue the healing year after year.
