I am a ruralsexual, but yes, have done it many times and cleared our children’s ears their whole life.
Very proud of my ruralsexualism…….
That does not sound sanitary or legal in most states.
Tried it once and it was a bust. Gave up thoughts about transitioning at that point.
What is it? You used a thin birthday candle? How the heck do you get those thick candle into the canal?
Too many millennials wearing lip balm and drinking fruity beers on here.
I like to use the Goop candle that smells like Gwyneth Paltrow's vajaja.
It doesn’t. Its not a wax candle candle. It is hollow like a waffle cone and is made with a fabric type substance with very little wax. It draws upward strongly and the wax and war debris is pulled into the candle.
The candle itself is safe.
Good news, I believe Prime Shrimp is running a sale on their candles.

Not judging, but that's a needlessly complicated way to get high.lol at this picture from wikipedia
I went to highschool with a girl who got the candle lady nickname but I don't think she was sticking them in her ears.
you are correct. ENT docs warn against it. OIf course THEY want your money. But it is regarded as risky. PLUS.. the actual candle wax melts .. and can fool you that is the wax from your ear. Your regular MD, in most cases, can do an "ear wash" that flushes your ear safely. Those "herbalist" "natural" health shops promote the ear candling
Better ideas: turn your head sideways (like in the ear candle pictures above) and put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear. Let it sit a few minutes before draining. Helps with minor infections, ear wax and dust.
You can do the same thing with a mixture of equal parts rubbing alcohol and distilled white vinegar. Good for swimmer's ear.
Do not put any oils in your ear.
If you are a senior, next time you go to the doc request an ear cleaning. For medicare billing, 69209/69210 ear lavage and curettage is an easy pay.
Ear candles don't really do anything, but the heat inside your ear does feel good. Use a hot compress instead.

Had two roommates that did it in college. One had no problems. Another damaged his ear once after several times. Pretty sure it resulted in partial hearing loss for him. Doctor's told him to never do it again and he never should've been doing it.
General way of dealing with wax is take a hot shower, let some of the water go into your ear. Warm/hot water melts the wax and it comes out. May not work if you have heavy build up and in that case you'll just have to go to a doctor every few years and have him clean them out.
Why is Gwyneth Paltrow selling a candle that smells like her vagina?
Gwyneth has made a candle called This Smells Like My Vagina for her website, Goop. And, of course, it has sold out

Or she's a marketing savant.
Mayo Clinic
Some people try to remove earwax themselves using a technique called ear candling (ear coning). Ear candling involves lighting one end of a hollow, cone-shaped candle and placing the other unlit end into the ear. The idea is that the heat from the flame will create a vacuum seal that draws wax up and out of the ear.
However, ear candling isn't a recommended treatment for earwax blockage. Research has found that ear candling doesn't work. It may also burn or damage the ear.
