Pure Beeswax and Paraffin Ear Candles Ear Candles have been used for centuries and are reported to aid in cleansing the ear of wax, improve hearing, and bring soothing comfort to the user. Excess earwax can be a place where bacteria and fungus can accumulate. Ear candles are all natural, sweet and are easy to use. They feature a spiral wrapped cloth coated with wax. When lit, it allows the warmth of the candle and gentle vacuum action of the flame to gently pull debris out of the ear. The process is enjoyed even by children and benefits them especially when done after the body's fluids are softened with a warm shower. The candles are comfortable, and with some assistance, can take about 15-20 minutes to do each ear. After swimming, visiting the ocean, or soaking in hot springs is a good time to ear candle. Comes packaged with basic instructions.
