Forget Everything You Thought You Knew About Ear Candles

I was mislead for years and have recently discovered the truth. Read on to learn what the ear candle industry hopes you will never find out.

The dark, waxy lie 

The myth that everyone perpeutates about ear candles

I first tried ear candles about 7 years ago. My mother explained that the burning of the candle sucked wax out of the ear canal.

So I laid down, stuck one in my ear, and allowed an open flame to burn inches from my only head.

After nearly burning myself and ruining my new haircut, I was amazed at the amount of waxy goo that had magically appeared in the leftover stub of ear candle. I thought this was the best ear product in history!

It took me seven years to learn the ugly truth about ear candling...

The smoking gun/candle 

After years of being duped, I finally learn the truth

I loved ear candles so much that I started planning to sell them myself. One day while scoping out my future on-line competitors, I came across some information that blew my mind.

One of my future competitors explained on their website that ear candles do not generate enough sucking power to dislodge wax in the ear canal! (Read it for yourself here) They DO NOT suck out ear wax! They only loosen it by the heat produced.

"Wait a minute," I thought, "what about all that gross goo in the end of the candle after I'm finished?" The website went in to answer my question: It turns out that the goo is mostly wax from the candle itself with a minimal amount from the ear!

Unmasking the conmen 

Armed with this new information I decided to never again buy ear candles. The most they do is soften ear wax because of the heat they produce. I learned that I can get the same results from taking hot showers!

We must take this information to the world. The conmen who dupe people into buying their ear candles must be held responsible for selling a worthless product.

Were you conned too?
