Those things are great, as long as you don't burn your hair/ear, or do it too often. Use a mirror or supervision.
Avoid loud noises for a couple days.


Heat, smoke, and the draw from the burning candles leaves you with a extinguished candle stub that has an un-be-liev-a-ble amount of wax, and, for some, white hairy stuff. (fungus?)


They are in health food stores, (not cheap) or various online sites including........ http://www.usanest.org/Order%20ear%20candles.htm

Those sound dangerous. Sounds like they'd remove the good wax that protects your ear from infection.

Hmmm. Kinda interesting. You've done this I take it?

How far do you let the candle burn down? Did it help you with sinuses, ringing, etc...?

He was an odd fellow -- kept to himself mostly. He had served his time and nobody noticed him much anymore. On the outside, he looked average -- albeit a bit unkempt. Inside was a different story. Inside, he was a whirling chaos of blackness, deception, confusion and revenge. The world's time was coming. And he had vowed long ago that he would see it through, though it would mark the death of him.

It's a hollow cone with a hole in the bottom,
that you stick in your ear.

Yea, I've done it and there's nothing wrong with my hearing. You can hear the crackling
of the fire, and it's kind of soothing.

When it burns down to about 1.5 inches (or gets
too hot) you carefully take it out.

If your curious or like gross stuff take a
razer knife and slice whats left of the candle....and behold what no q-tip would get.

I dont get it, the wax drips into your ear then you pull it out and it takes all the ear wax with it?

no, the flame (which is consuming oxygen) creates a vaccum above the cone, applying gentle suction to your ear...
in theory...me and a friend (who was really into the things) put one on a rack and burned it...

when you cut it open, same shit inside...its just melted wax and soot apparently...not stuff from your ear...

what is probably happening is the directed heat is warming your own earwax, making it drip deep into your ear canal...possibly opening it up some, but at the risk of offsetting the delicate bacterial balance in the ear necessary for equilibrium..

my 2 cents

No, the wax does not drip.

The heat and draw (suction) somehow makes your
........... ear wax.............
migrate up into the base of the candle.

Special bill, no offence, when the candle is yellow and your earwax is orange/brown it's
unmisktakeable that there is fair size chunks
of earwax.

The first time I did it I got quite a few
white fibery looking things on one ear.
Like small thistle seeds. (fungus)
