Ear Candling is a hoax! I bought a few of them from my chiropractor's office. I did one in my ear and then I did the 2nd one just sitting on the palm of my hand. The results were the same. The residue is burned wax, not ear wax. Don't waste your money.

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

Ear Candling is a hoax and can cause ear infections. If you follow the instructions you will surely get "gunk" at the bottom of the candle. Lighting the top and sticking the unlit tip end in your ear is supposed to create a vacuum to get crud out of your ears - probably more than a human ear could contain above the tympanic membrane.

If you choose not to believe this reviewer, buy one or two. Follow the directions on yourself and candle one ear. Then with the second one, follow the directions but substitute a small cup of water for your ear canal. Your results will likely be the same. And you'll have saved yourself $$$.
