Answers:
1) Usually one candle per ear is all that is needed!. Four usually come in a box, but I have been in some co-ops where you can buy them either singly or in pairs!.
2) Other supplies needed are matches or a lighter, an aluminum pie plate rather than a paper plate which is also flammable (Duh!.), a glass of water to douse the candle in when done as if you just blow it out, it smokes for a really long time and can set the house fire alarms off!.!.!.and a friend is VERY helpful and for some klutzy or ill people, essential in my opinion!.
3) Wally's Ear Candles sells several different kinds, all in the $4!.99-6!.99/4 candles or so price range!. And to be honest, the only two kinds I've used have been Wally's and the ones I've made on my own!.
4) I usually prefer to use the one with bees' wax and herbs rather than the plain parafin ones, but if I'm broke or low on funds, cheap is fine and works well, too!.
5) Yup, you betcha it's a specific kind of "candle"!. It's hollow, and regular candles will NOT work in any way!.
6) It doesn't get cheaper than $4!.99 for 4 unless you make lots of your own!. For this you need to have access to very thin strips of linen or 100% cotton muslin, beeswax or parafin and medicinal herbs or essential oils, all of which will cost you more than $4!.99!. It's just easiest to buy them ready made!. Plus, oftentimes people need them when they're sick or have a really bad flu or earache!. I wouldn't exactly want to have to be running around shopping if I felt like crud!.
7) I go to my local healthfood store or co-op to get ear candles!. I have also seen them at herbalists' offices and pharmacies before!. Good luck in your search and use of ear candles!.
And by the way: As a child, having ear wax removed by a physician with a surgical instrument, and without warning or anaesthesia was THE most painful procedure I have ever experienced in my life (and here's a clue: It took my son four DAYS to be born naturally without any drugs, so I think I can withstand a LOT of pain, thank you very much!) I don't recommend the physician route AT ALL, especially in children with earaches, as it hurts like HELL!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off it is not a candle in the sense of a candle that you would normally think of!. An ear candle is a tightly rolled funnel shaped candle made of wax soaked paper!. Which is place in the ear through a small hole in a paper plate, to protect you from drips of hot wax!. When lit the vacuum sucks the ear wax from your ear!. It would be much better and safer to do it with modern methods!. Really do you want a large flame above your ear and hair!? Remember wax is very close to gasoline when hot!. It would take two, you and someone else, to do this!. If modern methods were used It would take only you without the fire hazard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
