EAR CANDLING IS THE SAFEST WAY TO CLEAN YOUR EARS BY FAR! WE HAVE DONE IT IN MY FAMILY FOR DECADES AND YOU DO NOT GET ANY HEAT IN YOUR EAR CANAL. ALL HEAT THAT YOU FEEL IS COMING FROM THE FIRE END. IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE IN CLEANING WAX OUT OF YOUR EARS..AS YOU CAN SEE BY CUTTING BOTTOM OF CANDLE WHEN YOU ARE DONE AND LOOKING INSIDE. EAR CANDLES ARE NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA[FEDERAL DEATH ADMINISTRATION] SO THEY [THE GOV] LIE AND CALL IT DANGEROUS. THEY WOULD RATHER YOU TORTURE YOURSELF BY FLUSHING EARS WITH WATER/SOLUTION[BIG NO NO]. OR LET A DOCTOR DIG IT OUT WHICH IS EVEN WORSE. AS LONG AS YOU COVER YOUR HAIR THERE IS NO DANGER OF BEING BURNED. BUT NEVER DO IT YOURSELF LIKE DUMB JESSICA,,SOMEONE IS SUPPOSED TO DO IT FOR YOU TO PREVENT HAIR/FACE BURN. COVER HAIR WITH CLOTH TO BE SAFE...

Another story about this talentless bimbo.

My husband has very hard earwax, and it is difficult to remove. Ear candling is a great, safe way to remove it. (He used to stick the rounded end of a bobby pin to scrape it out) He can hear better, and it clears his sinuses. I get terrible sinus headaches and ear candling helps me with those. You need to do your research, find someone who is trained and knows what they are doing. Do not do it yourself! You are dealing with fire, near your hair and face and it's not safe.
I disagree with the FDA warning. As long as you are trained and use proper equipment, you will be fine.

Based on the above comment, I'd say excessive ear-candling can be proven to lead to all-caps syndrome aggravated by reckless punctuation.

I AGREE WITH MIKEY EAR CANDLES ARE GREAT. I HAD A NEPHEW WHO HAD A VERY BAD EAR INFECTION AND THE DOCTOR COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE EAR DRUM OR CLEAN IT DUE TO THE PAIN IT WAS CAUSING HIM, SO WE USED EAR CANDLES TO REMOVE THE WAX FROM HIS EARS AND SENT HIM BACK TO THE DOCTOR THE NEXT DAY NOT ONLY WAS ALL THE WAX GONE BUT HIS EAR INFECTION WAS GETTING BETTER ALREADY. AS LONG AS YOU USE THEM CORRECTLY THEY ARE GREAT!

Candles....use for low light effect. Q-tips work quite well for ears...

Ear candling has been proven to be a total fraud and waste of time. There is no way it sucks anything out of your ear. People selling it try to tell you the goop inside came from your ear, but if you put an ear candle in a clean test tube, it will have the same goop, proving it is just soot and wax from the candle itself.

Ear candeling is great. My son had a really bad ear infection and I took him to the doctor. It was taking for ever for the medicine to work so my brother brought me those. My son felt instant relief. He had so much build up that it took 2 of those candles. He won't go to a doctor anymore, he uses those. Our family loves them.

If it works, and doesn't enrich the Pharma Industry, then the FDA will find fault, despite the fact that MDs kill 200,000+ per year in mistakes with drugs and mistakes in hospitals.

This explains wht Jessica Simpson is so stupid. She did the ear candling and it sucked her brain out.

This was practised by the ancient Egyptians long ago. I tried a few times myself and it does take some material out of the ear canal. It did get warm but never even close to burning my ear though.

Lolo pendejo your comment is very LOW CLASS sounds like yours were sucked out before you were born and the rest of you discarded (thrown in the dumpster). How did you get out????

I've also heard they work as an enema too...

Ear Candling is dangerous. Tests have shown that it puts more crud in your ears, and pulls none out. The stuff inside the candle when you cut it open, is not ear wax, but the candle drippings itself. The suction required to physically PULL the wax out of your ear would bust your ear drum. Stupid fools.... its a gimmick.

EAR CANDLING DOES NOT CLEAN YOUR EARS. THE "WAX" YOU SEE WHEN YOU CUT THE CANDLE OPEN IS THE "WAX" THE CANDLE IS MADE FROM, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE WAX EVAPORATES INTO MID AIR? IT HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE, AND THAT SOMEWHERE IS INSIDE THE CANDLE ITSELF. THE HEAT CAN BE SOOTHING FOR EAR ACHES AND INFECTIONS, BUT THATS AS FAR AS THE BENEFITS GO, EAR CANDLING WAS FOUND TO NOT CLEAN YOUR EARS OUT 2 AND A HALF YEARS AGO, THIS IS NOT NEW.
