How to Use Sweet Oil for Ear Wax Removal

• 1). Heat the bottle of sweet oil in a cup of hot water. The heat from the sweet oil will soothe the inside of the ear canal. Sweet oil can be purchased at your local pharmacy.
  
  
• 2). Tilt your head and let four or five drops fall into the ear canal. This will loosen the wax in your ears. Keep your head tilted until you feel the oil sliding down the inside of your ear.
  
  
• 3). Place a cotton ball in your ear. Make sure that you don't press it into your ear. The cotton ball will keep the oil from leaking out of your ear.
  
  
• 4). Wait a couple of hours for the wax to become loosened from the inside of your ears. It is possible that it will take more than one application of the sweet oil to get the ear wax properly loosened.
  
  
• 5). Fill the bulb with warm water and gently squeeze into your ear. The warm water flushing through the canal should finish releasing the wax, allowing for an easy exit from the ear. Make sure that your head is over the sink so that when the water comes out it, will go in the sink, not on the floor. Wipe your ear off with a towel.
