1. What is it

What is earwax? Earwax or ear wax is a substance produced by the body to help protect and clean the ears. One of the body’s self cleaning mechanisms. For the most part works perfectly fine, however, certain factors can influence its make up and as such can cause problems. Earwax gets its name not because it is wax. Earwax is somewhat false as it is not wax at all, however, has a waxy texture, which is where the name comes from.
