Required Pre-Treatment : How to Apply Olive Oil Spray
Always read the label
Please Note:
If you have any previous history of ear operations, perforated eardrums or have been previously advised against the use of ear drops, then always seek further medical advice prior to olive oil use. If olive oil use causes discomfort, dizziness or irritation/itching of the skin then discontinue and discuss with your GP.
Looking After Your Ears
Do not insert any objects into your ears (e.g. cotton buds, matchsticks, and hair pins). The use of ear candles may result in serious injury and does not help get rid of excessive wax.
