I find that wax candles in the ear don't work at all but I have found that paper tubes used like wax candles work really well. Basically you make a paper cone in the shape of a wax candle. After the paper tube burns sown to 4" i flip my head over onto a towel with my ear facing down and the heated wax just drips out of my hear. The wax is only liquidly for a few moments 30 seconds or so but in that time a noticeable amount drips out of the ear. Can you try an experiment with that setup.

Ear candling when taught correctly is not designed to remove wax. The vacuum required to suck it out in that way would be dangerous to your ears. What ear candling is supposed to do is soothe anxiety, the gentle warmth MAY help soften ear wax to help it naturally migrate out the ear over the following few days. The wax in the candle at the end is simply the wax from the candle.

Awesome!

Have you tried breaking down wax with peroxide/water mix?

About 30 yrs ago I had a friend that was an ear candle fanatic. She wanted to ear candle me, but I insisted on an experiment first which led me to decline the treatment. I simply burned the ear candle in a clean shot glass and it produced the same amount of wax as she was getting from real ears. Your test goes even further eliminating any rare possibilities, but I was convinced even back then it was cosmic debris. She wasn't convinced and stayed in denial as long as I knew her.

Had ear candle done on my ear, no ear wax came out, so if what he is saying is true about it being from the ear candle, then I should have gotten that "fake ear wax!

(And I didn't have my ear weighed!)

As a retired family doctor for 44 years I agree with the results. For those who have an ear wax problem I recommended that they run warm water in their ears each time they take a shower. It slowly washes away the wax if they will do it regularly. Ear wax softeners also help make this work better. Ear wax is a condition that needs regular care to reduce its amount and the problems is causes with reduced hearing. Otherwise seek out a doctor that will take the time to remove the wax safely. It isn’t a quick fix or quick job. It takes time even with expensive equipment. It must be done correctly or the ear drum can be damaged. Leave this one to the professionals.

Another one is the fact that people tend to speak... If you speak during the candling, your ears have slight internal movement, even from swallowing - both of which is not occurring in the experiment. Also- we cannot assume that the earwax adheres to smooth plastic in the same way that it does to warm skin and hairs... The depth and location of where the earwax was built-up on those who claim it works are also unknown to us... It appears that this "experiment" doesn't take many factors into consideration - We have natural oils on the surface of our skin- yet another factor. I am assuming that every persons earwax is unique to that person and that some people might have more oils within their wax compared to anothers - which means that the candle might be successful for one person and not the next... The size of ones ear canal might actually come into play- I mean hell- the more I consider the validity of the experiment, the more flawed it becomes

I immediately thought that "sucking out" ear wax using a candle is not scientifically possible. There's no way that would create suction, it defies the laws of thermodynamics and physics. I'm still glad I checked this out though, thank you so much!

try heating ear wax to bodey temp so additioal candell heat and do it hoizontally the one create a vacum

I grew up only using these candles to relieve vertigo and to ease ear pressure and earaches. The smoke vaccum in my experience when it goes in the ear canal eases pain and I am assuming reduces inflammation. I cannot prove how it works especially with vertigo but for me, it somehow effects those crystals in the ear and in many people clears up the vertigo. I never believed they actually remove wax, using common sense one should conclude that the wax coating inside the candle is the residue left behind, it’s not going to “pull” anything out of your ear.

good video, but how do you removed ear wax??? my doctor doesn't remove ear wax (I'm in UK)

I used to have chronic ear wax build up as a kid and through my early 20s. I had muffled hearing a lot of the time and oftentimes, when I would go swimming, water would get stuck in my ear. A trip to urgent care for an ear flush was a regular occurrence UNTIL... When I was about 25 years old I started working for a wellness clinic that had chiropractic care. I started getting regular spinal adjustments, especially my cervical spine where I experienced the most tension. I experienced many benefits but there was one in particular that stood out to me. Throughout the first year of regular adjustments I noticed that every now and then my inner ears would itch and when I scratched there was a little bit of wax, as if my ears were slowly pushing wax out of my ear. That had never happened to me before, at least not without flushing. Also during that first year I noticed that my hearing was still clear and there didn't seem to be the typical wax build up that inevitably led to an urgent care visit. When I told my observations to one of the chiropractors, he said it's likely that up until that point the subluxations in my cervical spine were probably causing the nerves to my ears to not function optimally. He explained that the skin inside ear canals grows outward, bringing small amounts of wax along with it until it falls out or we have an itch that makes us scratch some of the ear wax off. I gathered that the nerves from my cervical spine to my ears were likely suffering due to subluxations, causing the skin in my ear canal to either slow down or stop growing outward like it's supposed to, causing all the issues I had for over two decades. Now, ten years later, I still receive regular chiropractic adjustments and haven't had any ear wax issues since.

The kicker was that my patient was experiencing some inner ear pressure and discomfort previous to the ENT visit, had about a half dozen ear candling sessions with a professional a couple of weeks before the scheduled ENT visit and reported he felt great and didn’t think he needed the ENT visit. The doctor knew this but documented none of it. All of these people should have their licenses removed, yesterday and permanently. Glad you “get it”.
