Anonymous Coward User ID: 54839 United Kingdom 12/19/2005 05:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've have used hydrogen peroxide for cleaning my ears for decades now. It really works. I apply it slightly differently than pouring it into my ears. I take a q-tip soaked in hydrogen peroxide and clean it that way about 2-3 times per week or whenever my ears start itching. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53796happened to me for the first time this morning. a 'booger' of earwax just fell out of my ear after i woke up. i took a look at it to make sure there was nothing alarming, and it was just earwax. I didn't know that this happens, and still don't know anything about why or how it happened. |

He said i was lucky I didnt bust my eardrum. he told me that if i used peroxide in my ears again, to make sure i diluted its strength with water. .A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Woodsprite User ID: 1125383 Sweden 10/10/2010 07:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, this works very well...:) When I was little, I remember my DR telling my Mom about this, because I used to get a lot of ear infections, until they took out my tonsils. I still do it today... :) I also use a diluted Peroxide as a mouth wash sometimes, if it feels like my gums are irritated, or wanting to bleed, after I've had to have dental work done. I figured that 1 out, after the Dentist gave my Dad a prescription for Peridex...looked at the label, and all it was , was a diluted Hydrogen Peroxide solution. I mix it about 50/50 and swish for a minute or so...usually a day or 2 is all I have to do before everything is good again...:) Hydrogen Peroxide is really good at helping speed healing in cuts and abrasions too...the extra Oxygen in it helps the body heal. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 941052 United States 10/10/2010 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hydrogen peroxide doesn't really dissolve ear wax, it basically dislodges the wax and bubbles it out. What I recommend is 2-4 drops of glycerin, or olive oil placed in ear before going to bed. The oil will dissolve the ear wax making it more liquid. However, it will still be present in your ear. So the next morning place 4 drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear to clean it out. Afterwards, use 3-4 drops of glycerin once per week before going to bed and clean out with hydrogen peroxide in morning to maintain clean ears. Wax is an oil and as you know water does not dissolve oil. Only an oil dissolves and oil thats why you use an oil first. |

Only Me Strawberry Girl User ID: 725691 United States 10/10/2010 09:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Also good for infected ear piercings [and one assumes other piercings] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 995112I recall reading that ear wax is cholesterol! Anyone tried the ear candles? My mom used an ear candle on me once several years ago. I have constant problems with my left ear feeeling like there is too much pressure in it. The ear candle apparently dissolves wax and draws it up into it. After she was done she cut it open to show me and I was absolutely disgusted with the amount of wax that was in it. Apparently, my ear was clogged with wax. Felt better after that, but not completely. I dunno....there are people who say the ear candle is a scam and it's not really ear wax you see but candle wax that changes color when burned. Goodbye, halcyon days... There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |
