Our ears reveal our true state of health

What Your Earwax Says About Your Health

Earwax, medically known as cerumen, might seem like a minor bodily byproduct, but it plays a critical role in maintaining ear health. This waxy substance is produced by glands in the ear canal and serves several important purposes: trapping dust and debris, protecting the skin inside the ear, and acting as a natural barrier against bacteria, fungi, and other harmful invaders.
