Why you need to Only Shop for Beeswax Ear Candles



It makes perfect sense that with any product there are varying degrees of quality and that the approach wherein the product is manufactured and the substances that are used is paramount to quality and effectiveness. The old saying of ‘you get what you pay for’!

Ear Candles are a prime example of this and more so because of the fact that they are hand made. Ear candling is still a foreign subject to most and so when individuals read damming reports of the dangers of ear candles it is understandable that people may be a little nervous, especially on the first time using them.




Absolutely with ear Candles there are important elements you must bear in mind before purchasing the product and it will be a little hard to understand the difference when looking at different manufacturers.

The thought of making ear candles is basically the same although the attention to detail is quite important. We're talking about cotton sticks once wrapped being dipped in beeswax, but whilst you'll hear this statement from most manufacturers there are even questions to be asked at this point. Namely the type of 'wax' that is being used and also the nature of the cotton. There's natural and natural isn't there? and unless you are prepared to do your own lab tests it's impossible to know exactly what type of wax is being used. be different and ask this question.

For most cheaper brand use the unsightly smell of paraffin wax and a clear indication of this is the amount of black smoke your ear candle will exude as it burns. If you think your house is about to catch on fire from the black smoke then it is quite likely you have purchased a candle using paraffin wax. Smell the candle first, as pure natural beeswax will almost certainly be sweeter to point that you may want to eat it! after all this is a by product of honey.





The cotton also can be of various types, either bleached or unbleached, no points for guessing which one you should be using. Also look out for the style of the 'wrap' as it is known - the way the cotton on the candle has been wrapped. If you are looking at a 'sheet' of cotton then this is most likely a candle that is being made in mass production, the fast and easy way. If you can see the porous holes of the cotton and an overlap then you most certainly are looking at ear candles that have been given that extra bit of love when being made, a real hand made ear candle. So you can see that the combination of these ingredients and materials would obviously change the level of quality which in turn really affects the way an ear candles will and should burn.

Ear Candling by its nature, as it is to some so extreme, is tainted with bad stories but taking the above into account you should sensibly come to the conclusion that if you search for a quality ear candle then your ear candling experience will dramatically improve.Always experience ear candling with a partner or friend making sure all of the safety instructions are adhered to and this will undoubtedly make the experience mush safer and enjoyable.

You'd never go bungee jumping without checking the quality of the rope being used would you, so make sure you apply the same level of standard for something which directly affects your well-being.
