      I thought you are supposed to remove wax from your ears ... not add it.

          I always have a shitload of wax in my ears (from playing drums so much??), and have always wanted to try that. But I looked online and saw it's pretty much fake and impossible. Google dat shit and see what I mean.

          I also know my old Italian relatives swear by them working, but they're all bonkers anyways....

                  Yup, they work wonders... don't knock it. It seems weird, but it really truly works.

                      I thought you meant candles made out of ear-wax.

                        it really works the candles create a vacuum and suck the ear wax out of your ear and into the tip of the candle. you'd be suprised if you've never had your ears cleaned by a doctor, how much wax builds up in your ears, when your done using the candles crack the bottom open and you'll see the yellow/orange hardened blob of ear wax.

                        they work really well, you'll notice an improvement in your hearing as soon as your done.

                        they sell them here at a homeopathic store for $1.99 each

                            Being Italian and learning it from my old Italian relatives, I've done it a bunch of times and it really seems to work. It's just a bit worrisome having a flaming cone sticking out of your ear, so have someone you trust with you and not some drunk college buddy.

                              I think they are illegal to sell in some states.

                                yeah it's a good idea to have someone there to monitor how low the flame is to your head and also to make sure nothing happens. i usually cut a whole in a paper plate and stick the candle through the hole so in case of anything dripping or a piece of the flaming cone drops down, you don't get burned.

                                  I have used them multiple times, it really seems to work, oh well if it was a placeblo type thing and faked me out, I thought it worked!

                                  You can see the ear wax in the tip when you are finished, fun for the whole family!

                                          a very popular company joke when we were talking about them. we were also discussing what would happen if you stick them into a girls vagina - but none of my female colleagues volounteered

                                            Some dude was suing a spa on Peoples Court yesterday about that. So he wasn't too happy.

                                                        Don't Candle!!! It works, but it can be dangerous and it isn't nearly effective as this:

                                                        All you have to do is put ear wax softener or even just cooking oil in your ears. Let it sit. And go to the nurse. They flush it out with warm water.

                                                        It feels a bit weird but it doesn't hurt or anything. A grape sized chunk came out of my ear and I could hear WAY better. I bought myself an ear syringe and I do it myself now.

                                                        Just make sure you don't have an ear infection, I heard you can damage your shit if you clean them while infected.

                                                            that may work on some people, but not those that actually need to candling....plus, I have to do it once a month, i am not paying a nurse to do what you said once a month when I candle takes 10 minutes and works perfectly

                                                            wax softener just clogs me up more, olive oil does absolutely nothing for me

                                                              NEVER use hydrogen peroxide

                                                              Patients should know that rinsing the ear canal with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) results in oxygen bubbling off and water being left behind-wet, warm ear canals make good incubators for growth of bacteria.

I put oil in to kill it, the next day my ear was swollen almost shut, went to the doctor after the funeral. Have you ever seen what they use to clean out your ears? It was like this giant metal syringe thing that looked like a cake decorator on steroids. I can't even explain how painful the washing out was but the Doctor pointed out all the built up wax that also came out. And my hearing was a lot better for a while.

                                                                    And the crud you see at the end of a burn is just melted candle.

                                                                    But hey, if it feels good, do it. But it prob isn't doing what you thought it was.

                                                                    I used to do drunked peroxide in the ear at college though. Now that was fun!

It crawled in further and started to rub up against his eardrum. Needless to say he started acting like a complete madman, I thought he was having a heart attack. He started slamming his head against the walls, punching the side of his head with his own fist. This is the kind of person that got his teeth pulled without any anesthetic, the kind of person who got shot in the knee and went to work the next day. The kind of person that drank hot coffee straight from the fucking coffee maker. My brother drove him to the hospital and they pulled out the bug, it made a huge ?PLOP? sound. It was amazing that a little beetle was able to cause so much pain.

                                                                                      yeah, LOL, right

                                                                                      I forgot to do it for 4-5 months a while back, I got an ear infection that sealed my left ear shut, the wax was literally draining out of my ear like water every 5-10 minutes

                                                                                      after the infection went away I took the time to candle, I could hear 10x better and it filled up 1.5 inches of the candle tip with wax

                                                                                      I usually have ear infections every 3-4 months if I don't take care of my ears, haven't had a serious one in almost 2 years because of candling

                                                                                      btw, I also have perforated ear drums in both ears

                                                                                                And the crud you see at the end of a burn is just melted candle.

The wax that drips down (what you think is ear wax) ended up in the some peoples ears and made them loose hearing and im sure causing some pain

                                                                                                    has anyone else done this test???
