Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	I ran into this chart today, and felt I had to share it with you. Who knew thare were this many uses for olive oil? And, does any oil do a lot of this stuff? Or it is only olive oil that's so versatile? I can't say I've used olive oil for anything non-edible, how about you? _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

Sorry if this is too much info. But really...it is harmless. Otherwise see your doctor. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Anne Holmes Boomer in Chief Registered: 03/12/10 Posts: 3212 Loc: Illinois	Thanks, Orchid! I have a problem with ear wax, and several times have had to have my doctor irrigate my ear to remove it. This sounds like a safe method -- and a lot cheaper than going to the doctor's office! _________________________ Boomer in Chief of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com www.boomerlifestyle.com www.boomerco.com

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	The oil droplet was to merely loosen the wax, so that if the doctor needed to spend less effort irrigating the ear, s/he could do so much more easily. Something like this done once or twice a year. As you know, doctors don't recommend use of a Q-tip anymore to get ear wax out. I noticed that the doctor irrigating my ear was very careful. A contrast to 30 years ago.. My sister doctor explained that doctors now are more conscious of accidental eardrum puncturing, etc. Edited by orchid (09/07/13 02:06 AM) _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com
