When To Take It
Hydrogen peroxide can be used as needed for earwax removal, immediately for wound cleaning, or once daily for oral care.
Synergy and Antagonism
Hydrogen peroxide pairs well with sodium bicarbonate for dental care and cleansing. It can also complement saline solutions for earwax removal. However, it should not be mixed with iodine, strong antiseptics like chlorhexidine, or essential fatty acids when taken orally, as this may reduce its effectiveness or cause irritation.

Warnings
Never ingest hydrogen peroxide, as it can cause serious harm. Use only 3% or lower concentrations on skin or in ears to prevent irritation or burns. If discomfort occurs during ear cleaning, stop use and consult a healthcare provider. Its use for vertigo is based on anecdotal evidence, so medical advice is recommended. People with sensitive skin or deep wounds should avoid it, as it may delay healing.
