How does an ear candle work to remove earwax and improve ear health?

An ear candle is a hollow cone-shaped candle made of fabric soaked in beeswax or paraffin. When lit, the heat creates a gentle suction that may help soften and draw out earwax from the ear canal. However, there is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of ear candles in removing earwax or improving ear health. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for safe and effective methods of earwax removal.
