Ear Candles are not proven to remove ear wax. Most people use ear candles to promote rest and relaxation. Some people claim that ear candles soften and dry up ear wax and hence promote the natural removal of ear wax.

In most cases, swabbing the opening of the ear canal with the corner of a twisted damp washcloth will remove excessive ear wax. Avoid too much moister or going too deep since prolonged moisture in the ear canal can lead to an infection. Probing with bobby pins, match sticks, Q-tips, etc. is strongly discouraged.

Ear Candling is an ancient natural therapy that has been used traditionally by the Egyptians, Chinese, Indians & Tibetans for over 3000 years. Typically, ear candles were placed in the outer ear then ignited to produce smoke & warmth that enters the ear canal, bringing spiritual energy & soothing herbal essences into the ear. Their historic roots can be traced back to the Indians of North & South America.

Ear wax (cerumen) is normal in healthy ears. The purpose of cerumen is to moisturize and protect the skin of the ear canal and to trap dust and particles before they reach the ear drum. Cerumen is formed in the outer part of the ear canal. Normally, wax makes its way to the outer opening of the ear canal, flakes up, and falls out.

Some people have more wax then others. Earwax is okay unless it blocks the ear canal and causes a hearing loss. We do not recommend cleaning your ears at home. It is wise to see a physician for ear cleaning.

Consider the force that would be required to extract a thick substance, such as ear wax. Even in a very softened, fluid state, the suction required would be intense. It is just not possible for a flame at the end of a hollow cone to generate enough suction to move a solid, or even a liquid.

No, however, it is very important to read the instructions carefully before use. It is even more important not to ear candle by yourself. You must always have a partner to help ear candle for you. Adult supervision is required at all times. Always use caution with fire. A protective towel must be used at all times. Ear candles are not a medical device. Please consult your health professional to treat all medical conditions.

Organic Beeswax and Cotton. We have carefully selected the natural essential oils of Tea Tree, Jasmine and Eucalyptus for our ear candles.

The candles wax becomes very easy to remove when becomes warm, so simply dip your candelabra or candlesticks in hot water for a few minutes (our grandmother used to do it in a large bowl) so that the wax will become warm and can then, be easily removed. Don't forget to wipe all the excess water immediately with a soft dry cloth so no drop stains will remain.

Suffers of ear infections such as ringing ear, middle ear infections or fluid in ear should consult a doctor before using ear candles.

We use the finest quality of container wax available in our candles. It is a low burn wax so your candles burn longer than most others. It is a soft, creamy consistency so the scent molecules attach throughout the melting process creating a stronger scent that remains throughout the candle. The soft wax also allows the dye molecules to attach better so your candle will not fade over time.

Wax in the ears is a common and easily treatable cause of deafness, discomfort, and sometimes noises in your ears (tinnitus). Ear wax is produced by all of us. It only causes problems when it builds up, which may be due to over-production or difficulties in the natural clearance of the wax. The skin cells lining our outer ear canals include tiny glands, similar to sweat glands, which produce wax.

For most cases, when the amount of cerumen is moderate, no. Earwax will be warmed up to the same temperature as the ear canal and will not cause inaccurate readings. If the ear debris is excessive (exudate) and the sensor has to be inserted through this material to be properly positioned, then the Vet-Temp reading will likely not reflect an accurate core temperature. It is recommended that the ear be cleaned and the temperature retaken after a five minute wait.

You should always have someone perform this procedure for you, as the flame could be hazardous if not properly managed. As a certified ear hygienist trained in this procedure, I’m familiar with all safety aspects, as well as the proper fitting of the candle and treatment schedules.

When we began to investigate ear candling, we became at once confused by the wide variety of answers you could get to that question. Take your pick...injection of smoke into the ear canal (our personal favorite)...sucking wax from the ear (our least favorite choice)...setting up a draft in the sinus cavities...infusion of energy...the list goes on and on. It is our studied opinion that the beneficial effects of ear candling can be attributed to the injection of smoke into the ear canal.
