0115865 Plain Paraffin Ear Candles - 2 Candles

Wally's Plain Paraffin Ear Candle is the original, economical ear candle, containing food grade paraffin without oils, fragrances or additives. Many people prefer Wallies candles because they are free from all animal bi-products. Wally's are made from man-made, food grade paraffin; the same kind used in coating cheese and chocolate. A traditional practice used for more than 2000 years, ear candling (also called ear coning) consists of placing the tapered end of a hollow cylinder coated with wax into the opening of the ear canal and lighting the opposite end on fire. Smoke and warmth will then freely enter the ear canal and begin softening hardened and impacted earwax.Modern ear candling uses disposable hollow candles made from strips of unbleached cotton or linen dipped in paraffin or beeswax. Some candles are made with herbs or essential oils mixed into the wax, similar to the way ancients peoples placed medicinal plants and herbs in their ear candles for the beneficial effects of the smoke.Though many ear candlers believe the candle actually draws out ear wax with the suction of fire, this is not true. The smoke and warmth help soften and break-up your hardened ear wax allowing your body to excrete it naturally.Any wax deposits you may find inside the candle consist entirely of beeswax or paraffin wax used in production of the ear candle. It is not ear wax.
