Ear candling is………. 

Beneficial:  Many persons claim relief for various ear related ailments, the number of persons who use ear candles continues to grow !!

Controversial:  It is not an exact procedure so effects and results vary from person to person.  How it works, what exactly is occurring and what really is left inside the candle is not agreed upon by everyone. Check this page out for additional viewpoints: Ear Candling Articles.

Our Opinion:  Safety is most important.  So, unlike the majority we strongly advise horizontal positioning with a slight 25* angle upward during candling.  The contents inside afterward is so debatable we prefer to leave that one up to each individual.

Choice:  All well made ear candles will provide a good candling session.  As you become more familiar with and experienced in candling you will most likely come to your own personal preference as to which type of ear candle is best suited for you and /or your clients.

Cloth

Hemp

Hemp grows well without herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides and is naturally anti-bacterial/anti-fungal. On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much fiber as 2 to 3 acres of cotton. Hemp grown for industrial use is very low in THC (the psychoactive chemical in marijuana), thus making industrial hemp useless as a drug. There is no chance of intoxication from the use of this cloth.

Waxes

BEESWAX

 A 100% natural wax alternative.  Beeswax is the oldest and purest wax in the world. 

The  Majority of Ear Candles labeled as "beeswax" are most likely a blend of beeswax and paraffin.    Yes we do too.  Beeswax is very thick to handle on it’s own so we blend with paraffin or soy wax.

SOY WAX (Ecosoya  )

 Soy wax is a wax that is produced from the oil from the soybean. A 100% vegetable wax made with soybeans.  Contain no pesticides or herbicides. Is non-petroleum and biodegradable. Is made ecologically, striving to use nothing but non-genetically modified soybeans.  Burn clean, with little to NO carbon build up.  Are environmentally friendly, promoting the growth and care of the environment by utilizing plants. Are made primarily from domestic grown crops supporting US farmers and economy.

Paraffin

 Most Ear Candles are made with Paraffin and Cotton

Paraffin is a commonly used wax. A Petroleum by-product. It may produce the same release of carcinogen (when they are burned) in the atmosphere as your car produces when gasoline is burned. Paraffin is used in the manufacture of paraffin paper, candles, food package materials, varnishes, floor polishes, and cosmetics. It is also used in waterproofing and extracting of essential oils from flowers for perfume. It contains aromatic compounds, which are released that may be detrimental to one's health. It could be harmful to the nervous system, etc.
