The Ear Candle Lady Blog

The Ear Candle Lady is constantly amazed at what lengths companies will go to manipulate the consumer.  I spend a lot of time online reading the information put out by so called “professionals” –even those with PHD’s in Ear Candling. [ btw, you can't get a phd in ear candling. You can get a Phd from Clayton College in Natural Health, however.]

I really have reservations with websites who use sex to sell ear candles and then write dissertations on why certain ear candle waxes are bad, while waving a PHD as their basis for knowledge on the subject.

The particular website I’m referring to is run by “Doc” who shows more cleavage than wisdom and since they only sell paraffin ear candles; “Doc” has written pages of “intellectual”, non-consumer friendly verbiage to discredit beeswax and soy wax.

To me, “Doc’s” hype is no different than the skeptic, who I mentioned in an earlier post, who tried to prove his skepticism re: ear candles, by writing how ear candles KILLED 2 people! Oh. . .My. . . Heck! [If you didn't read the earlier post: "Death By Ear Candling" check it out below.]

Just so you know, from my 20+ years of totally non-PHD experience: Paraffin is the cheapest way to make an ear candle.  Beeswax is the best and Soy is an affordable alternative to beeswax and is usually mixed with beeswax to perform better.

I don’t sell anything on my website, so my opinions on wax are not designed to manipulate you on purchasing what I (don’t) sell. If you want to learn more about the different kinds of wax used in ear candles, go to my website at www.earcandlelady.com. Follow the links and read up. Then make your OWN EDUCATED DECISION based on unbiased information.

You’ll love your ear candling experience when you are in control!

Ear Candles are not dangerous!

I’ve received a lot of emails from folks snickering at the “Death By Ear Candling” post I did a few days ago.

Kudos to you for using your brains! Ear Candles are only dangerous if uneducated, misinformed or non attentive people use them. Sorta like using the newspaper cones I’ve posted on my website at http://www.earcandlelady.com.

If you don’t spend time LEARNING how to do this, you very well may set your house on fire and die. Of course it might be while you’re on your back porch grilling, lighting birthday candles, using a lit match to scrape out ear wax, etc.

Cold and flu season is coming with the advent of “Back to School” so don’t forget to get your ears candled NOW.   An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of wax! LOL

It’s not often I post twice in one day, but the Ear Candle Lady has had time off from the garden to do some reading.  While researching candle companies I came across this bit from White Egret.  Seems they and VitaminLife.com can’t decide if their SOY ear candles are PARAFFIN or SOY.  Read below and see what I’m talking about. . . .

At White Egret, we offer the highest quality candles and accessories to ensure each candling session is peaceful and enjoyable. All of our candles are made using strict quality standards, the highest quality essential oils and ingredients, and the highest quality cloths and food grade paraffin, beeswax or soy waxes.

No wonder they get in trouble with the FDA over their ear candle marketing.  In all fairness though, White Egret has been the FDA “scape goat” since the 90′s when  Big Pharma raged their vendetta against ear candles.

Be sure to check your product descriptions BEFORE you buy!  If you want to know more about SOY EAR CANDLES, then please visit my website at EAR CANDLE LADY.com

The Ear Candle Lady just HAS to say something about a recent “skeptic” blog she read this week. Among the list of reasons NOT to ear candle, the blog stated that EAR CANDLES RESULT IN DEATH!

Death by Ear Candling? OH MY! How might this be? What horror and pain did these people go through while experiencing death by an ear candle?

One of the people who died by ear candling was a nurse. . . .

Of course the blog mentions only 2 people in a 25 year period, who managed to set fire to their homes. I don’t think the ear candles killed them any more than a lit match kills anyone.

The article fails to mention how many thousands die each year from house fires, cigarettes, electrical malfunctions etc.

Bottom line: skeptics are skeptics ALL the time. Unfortunately, they pride themselves for their bitter outlook on life. I wouldn’t trust the opinion of a skeptic if the sky WAS actually falling! lol

Rest easy folks, while I have great sympathy for anyone who suffers an injury (or even death) from ear candling, I know that 99% of it was caused by NOT following proper ear candling procedures.

Do yourselves a favor. Check out my ear candling instructions on my website and save yourself from DEATH BY EAR CANDLING!

I just got my hands on the ear candles from this new website. I LIKE THEM! They’re affordable, good quality and ship fast.

DEEP DISCOUNTS for families and they DOUBLE ORDERS OVER 50 ear candles depending on the type you order.

Go get em!

According to their moniker, “Everyday is a sale day”. www.EarCandleSale.com

Everyday is an ear candle sale here.

If you are treating yourself well, then you know you need to candle your ears 2-3 times per year to AVOID problems and then having to go see the doctor.

Ear Candles should be used for maintenance rather than “repair”.  Do yourself a favor this month and try to fit in a candling session for you and your family.

Not only will it help keep you out of the Dr’s office, but most ear candle companies are selling their products at deep discounts.  July and October are the slowest months for ear candle companies btw. . . (don’t tell them I told you that!).

Here’s a few links to get super discounts and don’t require a minimum purchase:

www.CheapEarCandles.com They sell 86 cent paraffin ear candles and give you 10 more free with a 5o count order!

www.MissouriScents.com Currently they have a “grab bag” of assorted ear candles (paraffin, 100% beeswax or soy) for $.89 cents each.  You can order as many as you want. There is NO MINIMUM purchase.

www.EarCandles.net is selling their “ugly duckling” (seconds) ear candles until sold out.

www.ColonialEarCandles.net has some pretty good prices in general (no sales currently), but they do require a minimum purchase.  Nice candles though.

Well I’m back to catching up on my reading, gardening, and general summer bliss.

Happy Summer to everyone!

The Ear Candle Lady will be gardening, welcoming a new grand child and doing some remodeling for the rest of the summer. I’ll get back here when I’m caught up on the rest of my “to do” list. In the mean time, have a WONDERFUL 4th, a safe and happy summer filled with fresh veggies, lightening bugs, summer rain, and everything that makes this time of year special!

Skeptics are in abundance and excitedly share, via the internet, their own unique experiment to prove the ear candle is a scam.

Here’s their UNIQUE experiment:  They take an ear candle and set it inside a [fill in the blank] and let it burn just like they do in the ear. AMAZINGLY the end result is similar (although not exact) to the one they burned in their ear.

The Ear Candle Lady would like to point out some obvious “ah-haaa” moments regarding their unique revelations to mankind:

NUMBER ONE: The “ah-haa” skeptic who thought this “experiment” up (they all think their idea has NEVER been tried) used paraffin ear candles which almost always drip into the tip of the candle regardless of where the candle is burned.

NUMBER TWO: They are all under the assumption that ear candles suck wax out of the ear.   See my other posts here:THE SCIENCE OF EAR CANDLES .  My dad taught me that when we “assume” anything  we make an “ASS of U and ME” .

NUMBER THREE: Never in any ear candling experiment report from Doctors, Scientists, all around skeptics or the DYI investigator have I seen or heard any of them allow for the pressure and oxygen transfer in the ear canal while a person BREATHES!  Layman’s terms:  Have you ever had your ears “pop”?  Ever blown you nose too hard and your ears hurt or “popped”?   A person being ear candled BREATHES the entire time; changing the pressure in the canal and allowing oxygen (or even smoke) to make it’s way inside.

NUMBER FOUR: Our skin breathes. The cereal box or Barbie doll the skeptic did his experiment in doesn’t.  We know that a huge amount of  oxygen and body pollution transfer through the skin.  I learned this in elementary school! Last time I checked, the outside ear and ear canal were covered with skin.  Anyone want to argue that?

I learned in sales (a very long time ago) that some people are miserable and sad.  They were that way 5 minutes before they met you and they will be that way for the rest of their lives.  My challenge to the skeptics is to replicate the ear in it’s entirety and then do your unique experiment while including all the variables.  Maybe then I might say; “Thanks for sharing.”

Ear Candles work, we just don’t have a “scientific” explanation for why. . .then again do we really want them to explain it like they explain Topamax and breast implants ?
