1. Heat The heat from the ear candle, which is beneficially released towards the inside of the ear, reinforces the blood circulation and helps soften the wax;
2. Suction
The warm air, which rises, creates a depression and consequent suction ("chimney effect") at the base of the ear candle. This helps eliminate waste and deposits from the ear canal. It also liberates close pores, regenerates the breathing of the skin, and helps regain the correct tension of the eardrum following holidays in the mountains, flights, swimming and diving which can cause that "blocked ear" feeling.
Ear candles are simple and easy to use, however it is recommended that you have another adult supervising the process. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to use the ear candles unattended.
