What about ear candling for removal of ear wax?


Question:


Answers:
It's a bad idea. Seriously.

I read somewhere that they did a study and the stuff it "removed" was the equivalent to what was produced from the melted wax (meaning NOTHING was removed).

Also, you can rupture your ear drums.

Also you can catch your head on fire.

It's a bad idea.
What do you mean by "ear candling"??
It's really bad! It doesn't actually get rid or ear wax and it can hurt you. Read this:
Ear candling is not recommended. It is a hollow cone made of paraffin and beeswax with cloth on the tapered end. The tapered end is placed inside the ear, and an assistant lights the other end, while making sure your hair does not catch on fire. In theory, as the flame burns, a vacuum is created, which draws the wax out of the ear. Limited clinical trials, however, showed that no vacuum was created, and no wax was removed. Furthermore, this practice may result in serious injury.
dont waste your money..
