206311001 Sweet Oil with Dropper, 1 oz., Pure, All Natural Oil

It is helpful when you have an ear ache or a ear infection.

Good For Very Dry Earwax - If you have very dry ear wax, it can be difficult to get rid of the extreme itchiness and "hollowness", as a lot of commercial earwax solutions are geared toward the sticky kind of earwax. Everyone has either dry, flaky earwax or wet/tacky earwax - according to Wikipedia: "There are two distinct genetically determined types of earwax: the wet type, which is dominant, and the dry type, which is recessive. While Asians and Native Americans are more likely to have the dry type of cerumen (gray and flaky), African and European people are more likely to have the wet type (honey-brown to dark-brown and moist)". Of course, it's not all about ethnicity - your exercise habits (i.e. frequent swimming) and hygiene routine (do you rinse your ears under the showerhead?) also affect the "quality" of your earwax, but this sweet oil seems to do a very good job softening DRY earwax! I bet they do even better for the tacky kind of earwax. Hydrogen-peroxide drops feel good because they fizz, but I've found it doesn't help to actually soften my very, very dry earwax. My earwax is so dry it almost seems to be a hard "plaster" against the sides of my ears, and is difficult to budge in any way. Using this sweet oil makes it much easier to CAREFULLY remove some earwax. The dropper is very helpful, as some sweet oils out there don't include one (and you'd have to buy it separately). A good routine: put 5 - 7 drops in each ear, once or twice per day, for 3 - 5 days. Spend at least a few minutes to keep your head tilted to the opposite side so the oil can stay "in" the ear canal for as long as possible. I've found it helpful and relaxing to do this while laying down, but it also works well while sitting up - you just have to keep your head tilted. Also, try to wait at least 30 minutes after taking a shower to use the drops. I've found there can be a slight ringing or uncomfortable sensation if you put the drops in when there is still water in your ear. One thing to note is that although this sweet oil definitely helps to relieve itchiness, it might not work instantaneously. It is, however, soothing. If your itching doesn't go away, or if it is accompanied by any stinging, burning, or throbbing, you might want to visit your doctor - it might be an infection, and they can prescribe corticosteroids or antibiotics. I wonder how many times I wrote "earwax"? :D

The nearest ENT is a city away and booked for two months out. Meanwhile, the eczema in my ear canals (a new development) was itching and flaking and sore. I also had build-up of wax and debris (gross, I know) that muffled my hearing and caused pain. The cortisone & antibiotic drops my GP prescribed seemed to make the eczema worse, and did nothing to help with wax removal. I could not find sweet oil at any store, so ordered it here. (A pharmacist later told me I could just have used my kitchen olive oil, but I am happier with a small dedicated bottle and dropper, anyway). I swab a bit inside my ear, in the outer ear canal and allow it to gently drip down (head tilted). I was apprehensive about putting much of anything at all in there to add to the pressure. The oil sooths the ear canal and seems to limit the eczema itching and flaking. (So relieved!) Additionally, I found that it did soften the wax deep inside my canal and made it possible to (VERY carefully) remove with a Clinere ear spoon. I am considering cancelling my appointment with the ENT, still 2 weeks away. I'll see how it goes, but so far, the sweet oil is helping more than anything I've tried. I can hear!

I have always had trouble with my ears draining properly. I had tubes in when I was younger and that has effected me as an adult. I had some wax right up against my ear drum that was going to be too dangerous to remove without trying to loosen and soften it up. Sweet oil has always been my go to. This is easy to use, the dropper isn't messy and it's the only kind that I actually didn't really need to heat up first.

This stuff works very well

Our pediatrician recommended these for her ears and they have worked great in relieving those little ear aches. Also, we were told to use this for small rectal tears/ fishers and it has helped healing of those so much. The dropper lid makes it so easy to use and there doesn't seem to be a noticeable scent to this.

I often have ear aches it clears it up fast! I’ve used it for years but it’s hard to find except for here!

So I did not try this one out yet. To be honest I did not know how to use it. It says it softens skin as well. I could not read the direction as it was extremely small. Either way, I wanted this product more for ear wax and not skin care. I will update as soon as I can figure this one out. There are two others that I purchased to try out. My family claims I can't hear and talk very loud 😅, so I need to find a good product quick! If not it's to the doctors to get it cleaned out, which is not a good feeling. Best wishes! Happy shopping!! 🛍
