6 ways to remove earwax at home
You should first clean your ear regularly and remove earwax to avoid clogging. Do not use ear cleaning sticks for this; instead, you can clean your ears without damaging them using the methods given below.
Earwax is naturally present in the ear and protects it from bacteria and other substances that can damage this sensitive area.
In addition, earwax is a natural lubricant for the ear and canal. But there may be times when this has accumulated so much that it causes discomfort, dizziness, hearing impairment, and feeling something stuck in the ear and itching. That is why you should regularly remove excess dirt from your ear.
Why does earwax accumulate?
Before we tell you how to remove excess earwax at home, we will talk about earwax accumulation and what causes this condition. When earwax builds up in the ear canal and clogs it, it can become annoying and irritating. This blockage usually occurs when you regularly use an ear cleaning stick to clean your ears, because you push the earwax through the ear canal.
People who wear headphones are likely to accumulate earwax.
What are the symptoms of excessive earwax?
When too much earwax builds up in the ear, you may experience the following:
Itching of the ear canal
Feeling your ears are full or clogged
Dizziness
Tinnitus in the ears
Fluid flow through ear canal

Homemade methods to remove excess earwax
To avoid the above problems, you should clean your ear regularly and remove earwax to avoid congestion. We recommend that you do not use ear cleaning sticks; instead we recommend using the homemade methods that we will now offer.
Saline solution
The saline solution is a great option for removing earwax. All you have to do is put a teaspoon of salt (7.5 g) in half a glass of water (100 ml). Then dip a cotton ball into this solution and tilt your head to the side and drop a few drops into your ear. Then tilt your head to the other side and remove it with a cloth as the liquid comes out.
Paraffin oil
The safest and most effective earwax removal at home is paraffin oil, which is sold in many pharmacies. All you need is a few tablespoons of paraffin oil to heat on a candle. Then drop a few drops in your ear and lie down for a few minutes. Then rinse with water. You can do this to dissolve the accumulated earwax for three days.
Hydrogen peroxide
Mix equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide and water. Make sure that the hydrogen peroxide is 3% strength. Drip a few drops into your ear and gently shake your head to go into your ear canal. Wait a few minutes before turning your head to the side for the liquid to escape.
Glycerine
Glycerin is a natural product that makes it easy to remove earwax. You can find it in pharmacies. Use 4 drops for both ears and apply three times a day for best results.
Vinegar and alcohol solution
Mix equal amounts of vinegar and alcohol in a bowl. Dip a cotton ball into it and squeeze a few drops into the ears.
Olive oil
Olive oil is a great material to soften and remove earwax. Drip a few drops of olive oil into the affected ear before going to sleep and try to sleep on the other side. Apply this treatment for four consecutive nights.
