A relaxation ritual, not a wax removal method.", "description": "What ear candling is, and what it is not\n\nAn ear candle is a hollow cone of unbleached muslin stiffened with beeswax. One\nend is tapered to rest at the opening of the ear, the other is lit. It burns for\neight to ten minutes down to a printed silver mark, and then it goes into a\nglass of water.\n\nPeople have used them for a long time, and the reason they keep using them is\nthe experience: lying still, the warmth, the soft crackling, ten quiet minutes.\nThat is what we sell them for.\n\nWhat they do not do is remove ear wax. The residue you find inside a burnt cone\nlooks convincing, and it is burnt candle wax and ash from the cone itself. If\nyou want wax out of your ears, the ear washer kit rinses it out\nand a clinic will do it properly. We would rather tell you that than sell you a\ncandle on a promise it cannot keep.\n\nDoing it safely\n\nThere is an open flame beside your head, so the safety part is not optional.\nNever do this alone. Somebody else holds the candle, lights it, watches it\n and puts it out. This is the single most important line on this page.\nUse the protective disc. It catches drips and ash.\nStop at the mark. The silver line is where the candle goes into the water.\nHave water beside you before you light anything, and tie long hair back.\nStop immediately if you feel heat on your skin or any pain at all.\n\nDo not use ear candles if you have grommets, a perforated eardrum, an ear\ninfection, discharge, ear pain, an ear injury or hearing loss, or if you have\nhad ear surgery. They are not for children. If your ears hurt or your hearing\nhas changed, see a doctor or an audiologist rather than reaching for a candle.\n\nAustralian audiology services generally advise against ear candling. We think\nyou should know that before you buy, and it is why every word above treats this\nas a relaxation ritual rather than a treatment.\n\nWhich pack\n\nAll three packs are the same candle. The only difference is how many are in the\nbox.\nPersonal Pack of 20 for one or two people trying it.\nFamily Pack of 50 for a household that does this regularly.\nBulk Pack of 100 for frequent use or a therapy room.\n\nHow a session goes\n\nSet the room up first: somewhere comfortable to lie on your side, low light, the\nwater, the scissors, the disc, the towel. Read the instructions through with\nwhoever is helping you.\n\nLie on your side. Your helper puts the tapered end at the opening of the ear,\nnot into the canal, threads the protective disc on, and lights the far end. It\nburns for eight to ten minutes. Trim ash as it goes. At the silver mark it is\nput out in the water and lifted away.\n\nMost people say it is warm and calming. Some feel a light tingle. If anything\nfeels hot or sharp, that is the point to stop.\n\nStoring them\n\nCool, dry, out of direct sunlight, in their packaging. Kept like that they last\na long time. Replace any candle that has cracked, discoloured, gone soft or\nbrittle, or smells off.", "llm_summary": "Ear Candles - Personal Pack of 20 from BuyFactory Direct UK. £19.
