Tea tree oil ear candles contain tea tree oil.

• Tea tree oil is a natural oil, is an effective antiseptic, fungicide and bacteriacide, and has many safe and effective uses in the health and cosmetics industry. Tea tree oil was originally harvested from natural bush environments and first used by the native Aboriginals in Australia for medicinal purposes.

Ear candles are used to clean ear canals safely and effectively. Ear drops cannot fully penetrate the entire ear canal as the heated smoke from ear candles can. The wax inside the ear is warmed up, loosened, and then pulled up by the vacuum created by the burning ear candle.

Ear candles are used on a person with the assistance of another by inserting the small end through a paper plate (not included) and placing that end into the ear. While the person using the ear candle lies sideways (with the ear candle pointing up toward the ceiling), the other person lights the ear candle with a match. When the ear candle burns down to about 3" from the paper plate, the other person, removes it from the ear and puts the fire out by dipping the cone into a glass of water.

These ear candles are hollow cones, about ten inches long and are are made from 100% unbleached muslin in a high grade, food quality wax (this prevents dripping and crumbling of wax and cloth inside the cone).
