Good and reliable for ear wax

We purchased this sweet oil in attempts to resolve an issue with itchy ears. After a week of application my wife was able to get relief from an issue that plagued her for months.

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

Had a buzzing, staticky noise in my ear for a month or more...Rx didn't cure it. One drop of Sweet Oil and the chronic noise faded away over a few days...great result

Anytime my daughter had a earache, we'd put a few drops in before bed and within a day or two she'd be better. It was all because she was teething....
