It also protects our ear from any kind of infection as it has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

But this popular home remedy for ear wax removal is not at all safe for at least cleaning your ear from inside of the ear canal. But this home remedy is very much safe for cleaning the outer portion of the ear.

Due to this a person may suffer from the problem of puncture of the eardrum.

2. Hydrogen Peroxide: You can also use this home remedy for wax removal as it is an effective remedy. In this process you have to put 2-3 drops of hydrogen peroxide inside your ear canal for consecutive 3 days. Allow it to remain inside your ear for five minutes and then tilt your head on the other side so that it may come out of your ear. For this process, you may use the tools like bulb syringe to remove the ear wax. But you should not use this hydrogen peroxide for sensitive skin.
