For minor earwax blockages or dry, itchy ear canals, extra virgin olive oil is a gentle, cost-effective, and natural remedy. However, if symptoms persist after a few days of treatment, or if you experience pain, always consult a healthcare professional to rule out infection or impaction that requires manual removal.

If you decide to use olive oil for wax buildup or dryness, follow these steps to ensure safety and hygiene.
