Ear candles therapy

Ear candling, also known as ear coning or thermal-auricular therapy, is an alternative therapy that involves placing a hollow, cone-shaped candle into the ear canal and lighting the opposite end. The purported aim is to create a vacuum that draws out impurities, wax, and toxins from the ear.

Ear candling can pose several risks, including burns, ear canal blockages, punctured eardrums, and infections. The practice is considered unsafe by many medical professionals and organizations, including the American Academy of Otolaryngology
