Ear Wax Removal
Understanding Earwax
Earwax, is a natural substance produced by glands in the outer ear canal. Its primary function is to protect, clean, and lubricate the ear, trapping dust, dirt, and other particles to prevent them from reaching deeper into the ear canal. Is it also this precise reason why we don't recommend disturbing this environment with cotton buds or sticking anything foreign down the ear without professional supervision. Earwax is made up of a mixture of dead skin cells and sweat glands within the ear canal. Typically, the body naturally pushes old earwax out of the ear as new wax forms, and movements like chewing or talking aid in this process. However, an excessive buildup can lead to blockages, causing discomfort, decreased hearing, or even infection.
