Ear wax candle, another suprising item related to soy candles!
Do you find this article useful? 
It's likely that after reading the title you are wondering "what is the relationship between ears and soy candles?". Well, if so, that is understandable. The technique we are talking about, ear candeling (also known as ear coning), is still not very known today even if it is enjoying renewed interest.
Ear candling is a practice which was started thousands of years ago as a means to remove ear wax. Inserted into the ear, a long hollow and thin candle made of paraffin, beeswax, or soy wax is lit. The burning effect of the candles creates a small suction along the inside of the candle which softens and cleans the wax from the ear. This is not a scientifically proven phenomenon but something many people say works well.
If done properly, the ear wax removal process with a ear wax candle is completely pain free. It is also efficient and non-intrusive.
Soy wax is being used more and more to make these ear candling candles because soywax is all natural, biodegradable and produces no toxins or soot while burning. Therefore they may be considered more appropriate for the ear candle procedure.
If the experience of ear coning is tempting to you, please note that there could be some risks. Namely the possibility of burns from hot wax or hot air. If attempting to use an ear candling candle at home, please follow the instructions very closely. If possible, it might be safer and more enjoyable to consider going to a professional for a ear wax removal session.
