Product Reviews of White Egret Candles, Beeswax, 12 candles
Product Review: Hoax, and dangerous
Summary: 1 Stars
Ear candles are a dangerous fraud. There's a reason they are not allowed to be advertised as having any medical benefit.
I have tried them. They appeared to suck wax out of my ear and I thought I could hear better after.
Then I tried this simple test. Light the candle and put the end you would put in your ear on your palm, or any other part of your body that is easy to have face upwards. I guarantee the candle will suck "wax" from any part of your body. You will see in the candle what people would have you believe is earwax. But I doubt there is much earwax in the palm of your hand.
Additionally, try putting a football against your ear for 5 minutes. When you take it off, you will be amazed at how much your hearing has improved! This is the simple result of having something blocking your hearing for a few minutes and then taking it out.
Anyone who claims these candles work has not performed the two previous tests.
Product Review: I can't believe this...
Summary: 1 Stars
I personally have to question why someone would put a lit waxy candle into her 4-year-old's ear (in response to a comment on another's review). It's amazing how completely backwards and primitive our society can be in an attempt to find a quick fix that avoids those demonic doctors, right? People will believe what they want to believe, and unfortunately, I can't change anyone's stance on that. But I can certainly support your comment.
To all of you who love ear candling, please try this one experiment for me: burn one in your ear, and then burn one outside your ear. Open it up, and look at all of the "ear" wax you find in both. It will be identical if you used the same brand of ear candles. If you aren't open-minded enough to try that, then I suppose that would explain why you would be ear candling to begin with.
I have yet to see any possible way or even a logical explanation as to how a lit candle can create a "vacuum". Again, try this type of experiment outside your ear and see if you get any form of result. The thing is, it really can't work, and the explanation for how these candles are supposed to work is really just another example as to how people really will believe anything without thinking for themselves. Please, do some research on your own if you don't believe anyone else (it's part of being responsible for your own health)... which brings me to another point. Another commenter here said that research can be found on both sides of any argument... and that leads me to challenge anyone to find just one peer-reviewed double-blind study that supports this practice. There aren't any. There are, however, SEVERAL studies proving the latter. It is very easily proved that a candle cannot create "negative pressure"... you can even try it yourself without having to endanger your poor ear.
Agreeing with the (sadly) 1 other reviewer who sees these candles for what they really are, they can do nothing but harm. Possibly, they could be relaxing, but nothing more. There most definitely is a placebo effect, which to some might be like finding out there is no Easter Bunny. Again, if you don't believe me, look it up absolutely anywhere and see for yourself.
Unfortunately, probably for many of you with this "chronic" earwax buildup issue, the simple explanation is that you simply have not been helping it. Throw some wax-softening drops in your ear for a while each day and then flush it out (and trust me, just because they're FDA approved does not mean that they are "unnatural" or "unsafe" or untrustworthy for that matter.) There is a reason that no licensed physician will encourage you to light a fire near your ear canal. There is a reason they are not FDA approved, and interestingly, are illegal if their packages claim any medical benefit.
Unless of course, anything that has to do with everything involving doctors, science or the government is a giant conspiracy and can't be trusted. No one is looking out for your health. Please continue lighting fires near your baby girl.
Product Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was fantastic!!!! This was the first time I candled my ears after recommendation from a certified ear candler for my TMJ and years of sinusitis.
Anyone who says ear candling doesn't work is doing it incorrectly. The candle needs to be inserted firmly into the ear by gently turning it until there is a good seal. You should also make sure that smoke is coming out of the bottom of the candle before insertion, that's how you know there is a good chimney effect happening. We used 5 candles in my right ear and 4 in the left-it pulled years of infection from both ears (yellow powdery substance) and some wax. My ears and sinuses feel fantastic now!!!!
Product Review: Misleading title
Summary: 1 Stars
These candles were advertised as ear candles but I tried them and they burned very fast and did not seem to work.Product Review: Nice candles, need to clip the tips
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this product to be amazing if you use a combination of earwax drops and the candle. The drops losen the earwax and then the candle sucks it up. The candle removed so much wax from my ears.
With this particular product I found myself having to clip the tips because they were closed off.
