HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR EAR WAX
Earwax,
also known by the medical term cerumen is a yellowish waxy substance
secreted in the ear canal of humans and other mammals. It
protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication,
and also provides some protection from bacteria
fungi, insects and water.
Earwax
consists of shed skin cells, hair, and the secretions
of the ceruminous and sebaceous
glands of the outside ear canal Major
components of earwax are long
chain fatty acids both saturated and unsaturated
alcohols, squalene and chloesterol Excess or compacted
cerumen can press against the eardrum or block the outside ear canal or
hearing aids, potentially causing hearing loss.
Excessive
earwax may impede the passage of sound in the ear canal, causing conductive hearing loss. Hearing aids may be associated with increased earwax
impaction It is also estimated to
be the cause of 60–80% of hearing
aid faults
