Essential ear health

You might wash your hair three or four times a week and shower or bathe once or twice daily but do you pay enough attention to cleaning your ears? Or are they often forgotten in the body cleansing stakes?

Did you know, that whilst it may be mucky to touch and unpalatable to even think of but ear wax has a crucial purpose. It is the ear’s natural defence which forms a protective coating on the skin inside the ear canal. Small amounts of wax are created all the time but problems such as a loss of hearing can arise when there is an over-production in wax which can then attract a build-up of bacteria and dirt.

The traditional method of using a cotton bud to cleanse the ear can damage the delicate tissue inside your ears and prove ineffective as the bud pushes the wax back inside the ear canal. A cotton bud cannot reach wax without potentially damaging the ear however leaving wax to build up inside the ears can also cause skin conditions such as eczema and can increase the spread of germs and infection.

Philip Artus, managing director of Passion for Life Healthcare says, “Just as most people know that a good hair care routine promotes healthy, clean and glossy hair, taking care of the humble ear is equally important, if not more so. The ear is one of the body’s vital organs, it is the centre of balance and hearing– it is more important than most people think but not many people know how to clean it properly. A good ear cleansing routine ensures optimum ear cleanliness and health.”

A gentler way to cleanse
There is an easy, effective, safe and gentle way to prevent excess ear wax build-up. Audiclean is a cleansing wash that helps to reduce the accumulation of earwax and when used regularly helps to prevent disorders such as ear infections and hearing loss.

So how does Audiclean work? Encased in a sterile bottle with a nozzle that fits comfortably and safely inside the ear, Audiclean works by flushing the external ear canal of old wax and prevents the formation of wax plugs. It also disperses and softens the ear wax inside the ear, which makes it easier to eliminate and to clean the ear thoroughly.

The ear is one of the most fragile organs in the body and needs to be consistently maintained with gentle care. Audiclean provides a cleaning method that is gentle, hygienic and effective.

Audiclean spray costs £5.99 for a 60ml spray bottle and £8.99 for a 115ml spray bottle. It is available from Boots, Superdrug, Alliance, Lloyds and independent pharmacies, or directly at shop.passionforlife.com.
