Ear Irrigation (Ear Lavage)
Ear irrigation, also known as ear lavage, is a procedure to remove ear wax that can build up in the ear canal and block part or all of it. Ear wax, or cerumen, is a substance with antibacterial properties made by glands in your outer ears. It mixes with dead cells and hair to form a barrier that protects the middle and inner ear from dirt and debris.
If you have too much ear wax, it can be removed either by lavage—flushing out the wax with liquid—or using drops to soften the wax so it can be removed with the help of an instrument, which should only be done by a medical professional.
Why is Ear Irrigation (Ear Lavage) performed? Your ears are designed to be self-cleaning, pushing the wax out as you move your jaw, which then dries and flakes off. However, in some people the wax builds up and can block the ear canal. It can affect anyone, but people who wear ear plugs or ear buds a lot, people with narrow ear canals, and children or older adults are more likely to have excess wax.
Ear lavage is performed by our lovely Dr. Amita Sachdev, ND.

I have been seeing Dr Santos at this Wellness Centre for several months and she’s been absolutely amazing. Her ability to always gain a holistic understanding of patients, encourage detailed testing before diagnosing have made her outstanding. She always takes plenty of time to ask questions, to actively listen and engage me in the decision process. I’d recommend Dr Santos to everyone.

Dr. Anita Sachdev has been instrumental in my cancer journey. My blood work, scans and tumours have been showing better and better results with each testing being done. My energy levels have remained good and with the diet and recommended supplements suggested by Anita my journey is positive!
