Natural Remedies for Ear Wax

There are several home remedies and cures for ear wax removal, but some of these remedies are dangerous and harmful to health. Here are some of the safest and effective cures for ear wax removal:

  • Don't ever use your finger, hair pin or other pointed tools to get rid of the ear wax.
  • Paraffin oil is an excellent remedy for ear wax removal.


    Warm half a cup of paraffin oil slightly above body temperature and fill in an eye dropper. Lie on the side with perfect ear. Pour few drops of paraffin oil in the affected ear. Stay there for few minutes and then empty oil from your ear. This will help to pull out all the wax present inside.
  • You can even try irrigating your ear with water warmed at body temperature.
  • Do a gentle massage with a baby oil to soften ear wax. Boil baby oil and pour few drops into the affected area to get rid of the ear wax.
  • Peroxide is also a good cure for ear wax. Fill your affected ear with a dropper full of peroxide and let it stay for few minutes. Place a piece of cotton and after few minutes wash it off with plain water.
