People often think that earwax is a sign of uncleanliness because it looks gross. It’s natural to automatically assume that ear wax is nasty and view it in such a negative light, after all it’s a what comes out of our ears, there is nothing sexy about it whatsoever.
That is why people the world over stick all sorts of cleaning solutions, Q-tips, and even automatic ear cleaner gadgets into their ears in vain attempts to remove the offensive substance. If you are guilty of doing any of the aforementioned things, you should probably re-think your ear-care routine.
Whenever you stick anything into your ear you are simply making them dirtier and increasing the odds of developing an ear infection, or worse. Every year countless numbers of people injure and damage their inner ears because they stick Q-tips and whatnot too far and forcibly into them.
By far, the most common way in which people go about cleaning their ears is with Q-tips. Doing this is the wrong way to clean them, it’s ineffective and just pushes the wax further into the ear canal thereby increasing the potential for build up and blockage.
Whatever you do, don’t use Q-tips to try and clean your ears. Instead, gently wash the outside area with a washcloth. That’s it, nothing else! The bad reputation that ear wax has developed is not based on anything but false information and it’s totally without merit. The yellowish waxy substance is naturally produced by the human body and is beneficial to our health in more ways than one.
It helps to protect our inner ears from all sorts of nasty stuff, like infections, dust, dirt, bacteria and other germs that would otherwise enter into them. Furthermore, the wax forms a protective barrier on the surface of the very delicate skin in our ear canals which prevents it from becoming irritated when water gets inside.
It also moisturizes and keeps that skin from becoming dry, flaky, and itchy. Ear wax is produced by the teeny tiny hair follicles that line the ear canal. It normally makes its way out of the opening of the ear naturally and on its own, but sometimes wax can build up and cause blockage problems.
If you feel that there is a blockage due to wax build up in your ear, you can try a natural remedy or go see a doctor if the issue is potentially more serious. Watch the video below for more information. I wish I knew this earlier!
