When used correctly, olive oil softens hardened earwax, allowing it to naturally work its way out. Here’s how to do it safely.
A blocked ear can feel like living underwater—muffled sounds, your own voice echoing, and a persistent sense of pressure. Before you reach for cotton swabs (which often push wax deeper), consider a simple, time-tested solution: olive oil.
Using the dropper, place 2–3 drops of lukewarm olive oil into the ear. Do not overfill.
