Ear candling is dangerous and is of no therapeutic benefit. Every year I see patients with canals full of wax and burnt auricles due to candling in my ENT practice. I have seen one patient lose their entire eardrum due to molten wax. The brown wax you see has been analysed to be smoke-stained paraffin wax NOT earwax.
The flame pulls on the oxygen in your ear, which in turns pulls on the wax in your ears. It's called convection. You can actually use a rolled up news paper, you don't need a wax candle.
The more "educated" people become the more ignorant they get.
wtf??? u idiots saying its fake and crap are you stupid as fuck? ive done it, and friends have done this, its not ''illegal'' in the US and there not banned, it dont cause problems, it actually helps you, it breaks all the clogged wax in ur ear drum that you build up from using qtips..

It is illegal to sell these items in Canada. Health Canada has not issued any licences for ear candles. Therefore, the sale of this product for therapeutic purposes in Canada is illegal. As well, both Canada and the United States have issued directives that ban the importing of ear candles.
They work if done right. FDA can't comment because it's homeopathic and no one in the Government or big business can capitalize on it. (never use Google, do your homework on them)
@tintdawg Homeopathic? Please explain. Other than having no benefit (the chimney effect does not produce any change in tympanometric pressure) there are definite risks involved in the use of these products.
I suppose you could argue that, similar to Homeopathy, they have no real effect other than as a placebo. Search
i constantly get blocked ears so i tried a few different ear candles to find out. none worked. went to the doctor and he cleared both my ears easily with a syringe. now i can hear perfectly.
ear candles do not work and are very dangerous! when i used them the burning wax/wick ashes fell into my ear and burned my ear drum! I couldn't hear right for weeks. Do not use these they are a scam and they can permanently damage your hearing.
@jwallbanger i use them to remove wax all the time, never had any problems. Of course i wasnt a dumbass and used cardboard to block falling embers/asshes from geting in my ear and causing injury. USE COMMON SENSE.
@epicdred That wasn't what burned my ear genius. My ear was burned on the inside from the hot air. Not the kind of hot air you just blew out your cock holster, literal HOT AIR from the BURNING CANDLE.
Oh and guess what? It's proven that ear candles DO NOT WORK. The wax left inside them is from the candle not your ear.

I bought a pack of ear candles early today to try to unplugged my ears, I heard it works. Its a buch of crap. It didnt work and I wasted money. my ears are still clogged and still cant here shit. Going to the doctor in the morning to hopefully get the problem fixed.
I found out the rationale behind the ear candle treatment...When you put the fire on the candle, it causes a type of suction drawing the wax to come up. I had this done today and my right ear was so bad and now I can hear very well in the ear. I was seriously considering getting the Miracle Ear...
getearwax from your ear using cotton buds, then some from the candle, look closely and compare it. its either smell it or taste it, i think that's the best way to know if this ear candling is real.. have a go then let me know.
No. It works alright. I used a different color candle and it was DEFINITELY ear wax. AbsoLUTELY ear wax. I mean, if you could've seen. SO SO SO gross.
It's not that hard to get burnt wax to be a different color than the candle. All you have to do is use a dye that burns when exposed to a candle flame instead of liquefying.
The fact that you have a paper cone involved only adds more options for fun with chemistry! Changing the color is trivial. It's also kinda fun if you make your own candles.
Okay well. We did it again and had it tested at a local lab, seeing as my father is a surgeon and can have lab samples tested, and you're entirely wrong. It was earwax.
Why do people post this on here to show the world how NAIVE and STUPID they are to fall for this "ear candling" SCAM???????????? Do a search on GOOGLE, and learn the truth about this scam!
I don't think it's entirely a fraud. I just tried it for the first time and saw some results. Out of my left ear came a small amount of golden ear-wax coloured substance (the "candle" itself was nowhere near this colour). Out of my right, came nothing. But I have had continual issues with wax buildup, as of late, where I have used q-tips to remove the wax and it is a noticeably dark golden colour. After candling, there was litlle residue I could see on the q-tips.
OK, enough CRAP about ear candling (coning) Ear candling does NOT remove wax from ears It produces gunk, but gunk comes from the CANDLE Prove this using the SCIENTIFIC METHOD Buy an ear scope (about $20. Less than cost of ear candling session) 1 Get someone with ear wax (check with scope) 2 Candle ear 3 Check ear with scope 4 WAX IS STILL THERE 1 Get someone with NO ear wax (check with scope) 2 Candle ear 3 Candle produces gunk 4 No ear wax initially means GUNK CAME FROM CANDLE

These have been proven to do nothing. Put it in something and do the same thing then open it up. You'll see the same crap that you believe came outta' your ear. These are also illegal in Canada by the way so wherever you got it in Canada is selling them illegaly.
These idiots finally figured out this is a BIG SCAM! They went out and bought 1000 of these candles and got the SAME amount of FAKE ear wax each time. They know their ears cannot have FIVE POUNDS of ear wax!!! lol They did a Google search on "Ear candle scam" and learned the truth! lol Anyone who believes in ear candling is an ... IDIOT!
Ear Candling is not only complete crap, but is harmful. Google it!
The candles are actually illegal and banned from import into the US and Canada. The FDA and Health Canada are both strongly against this practice, as it has caused numerous burns, occlusions (ears plugged up with burning candle wax), and even a perforated eardrum.
FDA is against it because it's a natural health method. People can health sinus trouble with it. Big pharma doesn't make as much money. Always follow the money. FDA doesn't care about any of us, unfortunately.
In a free society, people can make up their minds on if they want to use them or not. Everyday I hear a commercial from lawyers finding people who have used certain drugs which have caused major problems. FDA should be concerned about these drugs, and not whether someone can balance an ear candle on the head. This is an old Native American practice.

@ryanth yeah If some moron take it or take some "china-made" one.... why do u think the FDA and HC are against that? cause it's popular, it works (if ppl KNOW what exactly and how to use) and it means - less money for health companies and doctors ;) ....simple ...

Actually, the use of trepanning for the release of evil spirits is bogus, but it is still used to relieve pressure on the brain in the case of an injury (surgically, of course!).
@Silverhairspeaks Leeches can actually serve a purpose. Maggots? Not sure, I'd have to research regarding debrading woulds etc. Ear candling, no. Not useful in that it has no actual benefit and actually factually CANNOT work as proposed.
@ryanth ya know...lots of people know its popularity and sell a lot of fake candles and services....so....it depends on who are you buying from...problem is, that you cannot be completely sure about anyone and anything today...
Why exactly would a NUTRITIONIST be doing ear candle treatments? Nutritionists work with food and diets, NOT WITH THE EARS! Audiologists work with the ears! If you're going to lie to try and prove how much something you think works actually does work, try and make up a believable excuse.
Seriously, do the research. Do the experiments on your own. Ear Candleing simply does not work. It's a FRAUD!
It's amazing that these people would post on YouTube to show the world how STUPID they are! lol These same idiots also believe that wrestling is real and not scripted or staged! lol
ITS A SCAM PEOPLE!!! THE ONLY WAX YOULL FIND IS FROM THE CANDLE!! it cost 10cents to make and they cost a couple bucks. DONT BUY THIS SHIT. You have a better chance of harming your ear than helping it, think of it HOT WAX ABOVE
oh come on! don"t be a stick in the mud. please let us believe in ear candles. there's not much to believe in these days except Barak Obama, and if he fails ear candles are all we have!
Before you fall for this SCAM, just go to Google and search for "ear candle fraud scam" and you'll see for yourself why this is a SCAM. What happens is the people who sell these ear candles would post up FAKE videos to advertise for this FAKE product! Don't fall for this online SCAM!!!
its b*llshit! my ex built a small company on this,even she admitted it doesnt work. try holding the candle in your hand while lit! and see what happens.
so many ear doctors have said that this is a big SCAM!!! it's so funny that people are still posting video on here, showing us how naive and STUPID they are!!! what this IDIOT is doing, is dangerous to his ear also!
i've tried this and thought it was so cool how it sucked the ear wax out. then i lit one and placed it in a small bottle. guess what? the same "ear wax" was in there. it's bullshit. try lighting one yourself and see the illusion debunked.
Get an ear candle and light it without sticking it in youre ear and let it burn down to the line (where marked on the side) and you get the same results. The ear wax left in the bottom of the candle is just residue and soot from the ear candle it self Ear Candling DOES NOT WORK and is BULLSHIT, and anyone who thinks other wise is wsting there money and a gullible dip shit.
I first tried them when I was 13 and at first thought it was some quack treatment. After using it, opened it up and it worked. The proof was there.
Someone else also did it and once again, it worked for them. The debris did not look the same so there goes the theory that the ear wax is actually debris from the candle.
It pulled out alot of pollen type substance from someone else's ear and hard wax from another person's ear.

Sorry but I've done that before. It seems to me that people who haven't even tried ear candles go online to read someones rebuttal without actually seeing it for themselves.
As a matter of fact, you copied this from someone else. People think ear candles are "weird" and therefore will naturally take sides with someone who really doesn't know what they are talking about.
I copied and pasted the same comment that I wrote on the video and aimed it directly at you! You dont think I tried it myself! You dont think that before I stuck and lit candle in my ear that I didnt do some research! Really, get a candle stick it in some sand and let it burn down to the marked line and tad-da! Mysteriously the sand must have an ear wax problem! I cant believe you think this works. Some people are so gullible But here I am wasting my time on one.
dont give a fuck if it works or not...you guys and sit here with your cuppa coffee and beat off to that. all i wanna say is that - IT FEEL FRIKING GOOD! ha
THIS IS NOT BS :P Just cuz you think it's fake, doesn't mean it is. this works, it's perfectly safe, and it doesn't take any major science like some of you are suggesting to work.
Thats ok that you dont beleive what someone else says...but test this for yourself. Burn one in a glass jar ( somewhere you can see it is not "vaccummung" something up....yu will see that it has the same amount and type ot residue, than if it'd been in your ear. This is candle residue. Big PRob is wax dripping onto your eardrum. Perforations and surgery to follow.
I hope you don't pull anything out of your ear with that method! Only because it would require enough air pressure to break your ear drum. I see others have let you know already. Good. This nonsense emboldened my Atheism.
my mom died from candling! She was candling late one night in Alaska, and suddenly the "candle"(I prefer to call it a death stick) fell and lit her bed aflame, which quickly spread to other combustibles. Alaska Fire Marshall Gary L. Powell rescued her from the raging inferno, and she died later of an asthma attack.
So let that be a lesson to ya laddy. oh yea, plus the pressure it would take to clear stinky ear wax from your canal would surpass the pressure it would take to rupture your eardrum. Your living in a fantasy world.

I call bullshit on this comment.
Why exactly would a NUTRITIONIST be doing ear candle treatments? Nutritionists work with food and diets, NOT WITH THE EARS! Audiologists work with the ears! If you're going to lie to try and prove how much something you think works actually does work, try and make up a believable excuse.
Seriously, do the research. Do the experiments on your own. Ear Candleing simply does not work. It's a FRAUD!

i am sure it was said al ready but I don't feel like reading the other posts, ear candeling does NOT work.
Really, you should never trust hippie products.. Do hippies look like they have clean ears?

On YouTube, do a search for "The Ear Candle Myth". Watch that video, and it proves that this is FAKE! Don't waste your money on this SCAM!
freefatherly 3 years ago 2
Before you fall for this SCAM, just go to Google and search for "ear candle fraud scam" and you'll see for yourself why this is a SCAM. What happens is the people who sell these ear candles would post up FAKE videos to advertise for this FAKE product! Don't fall for this online SCAM!!!

its b*llshit! my ex built a small company on this,even she admitted it doesnt work. try holding the candle in your hand while lit! and see what happens.

Inner lining of the candle is coated in thin wax
That is what your getting at the end,
not ear wax. It's a big HOAX.

i've tried this and thought it was so cool how it sucked the ear wax out. then i lit one and placed it in a small bottle. guess what? the same "ear wax" was in there. it's bullshit. try lighting one yourself and see the illusion debunked.

Get an ear candle and light it without sticking it in youre ear and let it burn down to the line (where marked on the side) and you get the same results. The ear wax left in the bottom of the candle is just residue and soot from the ear candle it self Ear Candling DOES NOT WORK and is BULLSHIT, and anyone who thinks other wise is wsting there money and a gullible dip shit.

I just did this. I also burned one that wasn't in my ear, same stuff in both the candles.

light one, put it in a paper towel tube, and observe the "vacuum" extracting "ear wax" from the cardboard. case close

Ear candles are not fake
I first tried them when I was 13 and at first thought it was some quack treatment. After using it, opened it up and it worked. The proof was there.
Someone else also did it and once again, it worked for them. The debris did not look the same so there goes the theory that the ear wax is actually debris from the candle.
It pulled out alot of pollen type substance from someone else's ear and hard wax from another person's ear.

Sorry but I've done that before. It seems to me that people who haven't even tried ear candles go online to read someones rebuttal without actually seeing it for themselves.
As a matter of fact, you copied this from someone else. People think ear candles are "weird" and therefore will naturally take sides with someone who really doesn't know what they are talking about.
hrk33 3 years ago
I copied and pasted the same comment that I wrote on the video and aimed it directly at you! You dont think I tried it myself! You dont think that before I stuck and lit candle in my ear that I didnt do some research! Really, get a candle stick it in some sand and let it burn down to the marked line and tad-da! Mysteriously the sand must have an ear wax problem! I cant believe you think this works. Some people are so gullible But here I am wasting my time on one.

THIS IS NOT BS :P Just cuz you think it's fake, doesn't mean it is. this works, it's perfectly safe, and it doesn't take any major science like some of you are suggesting to work.

Thats ok that you dont beleive what someone else says...but test this for yourself. Burn one in a glass jar ( somewhere you can see it is not "vaccummung" something up....yu will see that it has the same amount and type ot residue, than if it'd been in your ear. This is candle residue. Big PRob is wax dripping onto your eardrum. Perforations and surgery to follow.

I hope you don't pull anything out of your ear with that method! Only because it would require enough air pressure to break your ear drum. I see others have let you know already. Good. This nonsense emboldened my Atheism.

For a vacuum, you'd need an *airtight* seal.
Liquids (and melted wax) flow with gravity. Enough vacuum to "pull" wax out would rupture the eardrum. With or without heat.

my mom died from candling! She was candling late one night in Alaska, and suddenly the "candle"(I prefer to call it a death stick) fell and lit her bed aflame, which quickly spread to other combustibles. Alaska Fire Marshall Gary L. Powell rescued her from the raging inferno, and she died later of an asthma attack.

So let that be a lesson to ya laddy. oh yea, plus the pressure it would take to clear stinky ear wax from your canal would surpass the pressure it would take to rupture your eardrum. Your living in a fantasy world.

God, I miss having my ears candled. My aunt (who is kind of a hippy) got me into it. Seriously, though. I always feel so much better afterward.
