What is the home remedy for oily ears?

What is a good "home remedy" to clean wax out of ears?

  • Seems that ear wax becomes more prevelant as you age. I have used peroxide to "bubble out" the wax. Is this o.k.? Does anyone else have any "home remedy's"?

  • Answer:

    Having wax in your ear is not really a bad thing. Wax protects your inner ear. I suggest just using a hand towel when you take a bath or shower. And may be a q-tip from time to time just try not to go to deep.

Nope! You got it, a Q-Tip and some peroxide.

Peroxide is fine..Fill a syringe with some peroxide and a lil water, squirt it in your ear and lean your ear down so the wax will drain out. Check out your local drugstore for an "Ear Kit' usually comes with a bulb syringe and drops and a tray. An Ear Candle found in a health food store works great also.

Peroxide is fine. My kids doctors told me to use that on them.

H2O2 hydrogen per oxide is the best and safest

Sweet Oil A doctor of mine recommended it once. Worked wonders for me. Just a few drops twice a day for a couple days and then flush with some warm water. You can get it at any drug store. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, use the burning candle things. They are DANGEROUS to your ears. CANDLING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS, PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR EARDRUMS. And, worst of all, what is mostly seen as the "result" of candling is the burned candle... not "impurities in the ear canal."

Yeah they are called Q-Tips - who would have thought!

You could look into ear candleing, I've never seen it done but I think that is what it's for.

my husband uses peroxide, and it works good for him and I work for a dr who told him to do it, so I would say it is ok to do.
