Brands of ear candles

[Scooby]

Hi all

I have just attended a course today for ear candling and I have come home looking to purchase some candles from the internet. Biosun seems to have a bit of a monopoly on the market but i have seen some indian candles and some by Otosan. Does anyone have any experience of these. We used Biosun in training today.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,

As a supplier of ear candles I can give you the lowdown!

Biosun are used by the vast majority ofear candle practitioners as they have a CE safety mark which therefore enables them to get insurance . Otosan and Indian do not.

Otosan and Indian, like Biosun, do have a filter inside them to catch debris that might fall down the candle.

I wish you well

Thanks for your reply Jonathan. I have purchased some biosun candles and am now looking forward to practising with them to get some experience.

Yes I would recommend Biosun, they may be a bit more expensive but worth it for peace of mind. I purchased some cheaper ones which we had also used in training so I felt they should be fine, however they didn't have filters and I ended up with ash and wax from the candle dropping down the candle into the ear - exactly the opposite of what we are trying to achieve - nightmare!

I would check with your insurers that you are able to use any other brand.
