What is Earwax?

Ear wax is instrumental in protecting and cleaning the ears.

It is a natural substance that is produced as a skin gland secretion inside the ear canal. Ear wax helps in the prevention of foreign bodies from making their way into the ear canal.

Ear wax also contains antibacterial properties. Ear wax is a natural way in which the body protects and cleans itself and it is not harmful at all. Despite this, there is a saying that too much of a good thing can be dangerous and this also applies to ear wax.

Excessive secretion and buildup of ear wax can sometimes cause problems like discomfort in the ear, tinnitus, and hearing loss.
