How WAXONIL O EAR DROPS Works
WAXONIL O Ear Drops contains Virgin olive oil which works by softening and loosening earwax, making it easier to remove. Olive oil acts as an emollient, penetrating hardened earwax (cerumen) and reducing its density, which helps facilitate its natural expulsion from the ear canal. By softening the earwax, the oil aids in its movement from the inner ear to the outer ear, where it can be easily wiped away. This softening process alleviates discomfort and can prevent blockage, improving hearing and overall ear health.
Additionally, the lubricating properties of olive oil reduce irritation and dryness in the ear canal. Olive oil's mild anti-inflammatory effects can soothe any inflammation caused by impacted earwax, providing relief from discomfort.
