Apart from containing and getting rid of bacteria, as we mentioned above, earwax also prevents other things, like bugs and dirt, from getting into our ears. It is also the best natural lubricant that prevents our ears from getting dry and causing itchiness. And it is programmed to remove itself from the ear whenever we get into physical activities. It actually pushes itself into the outer ear canal, where a simple shower washes it away.
