Ear is delicate organ which needs to be cared gently. Most of us are accustomed to clean our ears with the help of cotton buds. But they are a strict no-no and are very injurious for our ears. Many are unaware, and many are not ready to listen to their doctors who urge them not to use cotton swabs.
Here are a few reasons, they are a no-no.
Ear canals are not meant to take any “thing” inside. The cotton swabs can, in fact, push a greater part of wax deep inside your ear.
Ear wax is defamed unnecessarily. Ear wax performs a very important function of keeping the dirt particles away from the ear drum.
Ears clean themselves by cycling wax and pushing the unwanted wax towards outer canal naturally. So all we need to clean is that outer area.
Wax is not the reason behind blockages. Wax is produced in the outer canal. So, the only reason behind blockage can be a frequent use of cotton swab.
Easiest way to clean
It is a home remedy basically. Mix one teaspoon salt in half cup of warm water. Soak a cotton ball in it. Tilt the side of which you need to clean the ear. Squeeze a few drops of the saline water into the ear. Stay in the same position for 3-5 minutes.
Then tilt your head in the opposite direction to drain out the saline water. remove the softened wax with a clean cloth.
