Ear wax candles, your thoughts or misgivings.

OMG, I couldn't believe what you find inside after use.

I've seen it done and the candles look like they've got ear wax in them at the end, but I don't see what the mechanism is that would cause the candle to pull wax it off the year.

They feel amazing but they don't do anything for ear wax. The stuff inside is simply the wax and fabric that burns during the process.

It is pure snake oil poppycock. Put that same candle on a paper plate and you will get just as much “ear wax” as out of your ear. Just a scam to get money from the gullible.

Sounds bad, ripping off unsuspecting candle makers.

hahah...

my ENT doc showed me a spray bottle i can use on my ear. it blows away the green squirt bulb that comes in that kit. literally.

i dont use it that often. she said over using it actually causes your ear to make more wax. goes double for the ear drops.

I asked my ear doc about this as it does not seem to be as prevalent as in the past.
He laughed and shook his head.

always like to start my day with an ear wax candle and a bit of blood letting, occasionally I throw in some homeopathy for good measure

Witch doctors blowing smoke on your face really helps a lot as well. And then get some pyramid shaped crystals the hold as you inhale the smoke doctors second hand smoke.

Americans are obsessed with cleaning orifices. Ear canal, vagina, colon, nose you name it. Seems it all needs constant cleaning out and companies are jumping on the opportunity to help. And no surprise, you start scrubbing, blasting and drilling any of these areas, you will upset the natural balance, often making things worse. Teeth are probably the only area that really benefits from this approach, if we exclude bleaching them nearly transparent.
