What is a natural and safe way to get rid of ear wax?

Question

What is a natural and safe way to get rid of ear wax? I just noticed a bunch of it in my ear and it won't come out. No wise cracks please. Any advice would help.

Answer 1

I have read that putting about 5 drops (or more I have heard others say) of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and letting it bubble helps loosen up the wax.  You should find much more info. about this natural way to remove ear wax on the Internet.

Answer 2

I've used the ear wax candles before.  I'm not 100% sure that they are really effective, but they always make my ears feel so much better after using them.

Answer 3

idk if you have tried yet but i am not being a wise crack when i say Qtips.... good luck♥

Answer 4

Careful what you put into your ear canal. I would highly suggest if the wax build up is effecting your hearing to go to a doctor to have him remove it with a special device manually with a light at the end of the tool he can see just how much build up you have and proceed from there. Anything you pour into your ear can effect the ear drum if not careful. If the build up is not servere you can go to a pharmacy and use an over the counter fliud to remove some but they gennerally dont work so good. SO i would opt for the doc.

Answer 5

pour some Hydrogen peroxide and flush thoroughly with some water.

edit

yeah, q-tips (cotton swabs) are designed to clean the Outer edge of the ear NOT the inner part.  The swab Pushes the ear wax further down the canal.

Answer 6

Put a few drop of mineral oil (get it from pharmacy), it will slowly dissolve the wax and unplug your ear.
