You may have seen various postings online about getting rid of ear wax in a healthy way. Q-tips are the typical go-to for many that is really dangerous; over time they push deeper levels of wax further into the ear canal, causing pain and blockage which impedes hearing. Every human being has ear wax, although we want to get it out because it is pretty gross, it does serve a very important health purpose. It is formed in the ear to protect the canal from bugs, infection, dirt and debris.
The ear actually has a self-cleaning mechanism, but when wax builds up it can result in itching, pain, ringing and ultimately hearing loss. This happens because the ear canal gets blocked. The good news is that you can treat this yourself at home with the use of BABY OIL. It is only recommended that this be employed when you experience discomfort or hearing loss. The rule of thumb on a more day-to-day basis, is to put nothing in your ear smaller than your finger. Wiping your ears with a tissue or towel over your finger is the way to go, unless you are experiencing a clogged canal.
The video you are about to watch below is from the Dr. Oz show; he has an audience member use baby oil in his ear to illustrate how unclogging the ear canal is properly done. Warming the baby oil to body temperature is important; if the oil is warmer or cooler than body temperature it can trigger discomfort, dizziness or even vertigo when it enters the ear canal. Beyond regulating the temperature, this is an easy procedure. Dr. Oz has his “assistant” use an eye dropper to dispense 2-3 drops of baby oil into the canal. Grabbing the outer part of the ear and pulling down and out allows it to reach its destination. You will see how rapidly this breaks up Dr. Oz’s ear wax, after he slowly raises his head to reveal the clogged wax on a towel used to clean it. Flushing the ear with a syringe of lukewarm water helps to flush out the wax that has been softened by the baby oil. A few drops of rubbing alcohol will help to dry the canal well when you are finished. This process can be repeated for several days until you experience total relief. If you are still experiencing discomfort it is prudent to see a doctor. It is amazing how well baby oil works.
