1.0 out of 5 stars Useless ear candles, December 18, 2005

I have been using candles bought at a local healthstore for some time, with good results every time. However, using these candles I would have thought that there was no wax in my ears at all. I even interspersed using these candles with the ones from the local healthstore...each time TC Natural's candles produced nothing, but the others did.

In a nutshell, don't waste your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ear candles helping, August 28, 2006

I have twin daughters with very small ear canals. They also have very sticky wax. Ear candling has helped them pass hearing tests. This was tested by a speech and language pathologist. I have also begun using small drops of mineral oil at night a few nights a week. I alternate ears when they are sleeping. This was recommended by a Ear Nose Throat Doctor.

I too did a test run of a candle. I put the end into saran wrap. No "ear wax looking" substance nor residue was in the candle. I too have been leary of such products. But when my girls were struggling to hear, I have found a combination of things along with an open mind has helped improve their lives. Thank you.

This review is about ear candles in general. My wife and I both tried these candles as instructed. When done, we excitedly cut open the candles and saw copious amounts of what looked like ear wax. Days later I reconsidered the ear candles and couldn't convince myself of the results, despite seeing what I assumed must be ear wax in the dissected candle.

I bought another candle and conducted an experiment. I lit the candle on one end and placed the other end (which would normally go into your ear) into a section of vinyl tubing. Soon, smoke was pouring out of the tubing. Thinking that an open tube didn't accurately simulate the human ear canal, I bent off the tubing thereby sealing it. Once the candle had burned down I cut it open. Sure enough, the contents of the candle with tubing at the end was identical to the candle I had held to my ear; there was an ashy powder along with tough, brown chunks of wax. Since the contents of the candle without an ear attached to it matched the contents of the candle placed into an actual ear I can only conclude that the "ear wax" found in the cut-open candle does not come from your ear. It probably comes from the candle itself, but that's just a guess.

Here's another similar (but more medically tested) story: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_098.html
