Earwax More Effective In Tracking Stress Hormone 'Cortisol': Study

A recent test-method for measuring Cortisol (stress hormone) by using 'earwax' has received rave reviews from doctors and researchers. Dr Andres, the lead researcher, said this method is more suitable for tracking chronic Cortisol levels quicker, cheaper and more effectively than using blood, urine or saliva. Scientists believe this will be a break-through for treating people with depression. Further research is underway to track diabetes and even COVID-antibodies from samples.
