I have used ear candles over the years to clear up some of the wax that is way down in the ear. I found that these candles are very sturdy and burn evenly. I would recommend this brand to anyone with a need for ear candles.

I'm sure it was an oversight, however the package was short 1 candle. Still I would order again.

Fantastic product! Although I use the candles by Wally's Naturals. I love how the smoke from the candle helps to loosen the wax so that the ear can excrete it naturally during the candling and after. Plus it is very relaxing. The wax at the bottom is only from the paraffin in the candle and the loosened wax will of course help clear your hearing tremendously and help your body to excrete the wax naturally through the ears! No vacuum, just a little steam/heat from the candle smoke. Helped tremendously to loosen my ear wax! For those of you that have only used one and had no success and questioned the wax at the bottom. The wax is from the candle and maybe a little from your ear, but not much right then and there. Also, it can take quite a few candles sometimes before you get the desired affect. [...]

I personally have to question why someone would put a lit waxy candle into her 4-year-old's ear (in response to a comment on another's review). It's amazing how completely backwards and primitive our society can be in an attempt to find a quick fix that avoids those demonic doctors, right? People will believe what they want to believe, and unfortunately, I can't change anyone's stance on that. But I can certainly support your comment. To all of you who love ear candling, please try this one experiment for me: burn one in your ear, and then burn one outside your ear. Open it up, and look at all of the "ear" wax you find in both. It will be identical if you used the same brand of ear candles. If you aren't open-minded enough to try that, then I suppose that would explain why you would be ear candling to begin with. I have yet to see any possible way or even a logical explanation as to how a lit candle can create a "vacuum". Again, try this type of experiment outside your ear and see if you get any form of result. The thing is, it really can't work, and the explanation for how these candles are supposed to work is really just another example as to how people really will believe anything without thinking for themselves. Please, do some research on your own if you don't believe anyone else (it's part of being responsible for your own health)... which brings me to another point. Another commenter here said that research can be found on both sides of any argument... and that leads me to challenge anyone to find just one peer-reviewed double-blind study that supports this practice. There aren't any. There are, however, SEVERAL studies proving the latter. It is very easily proved that a candle cannot create "negative pressure"... you can even try it yourself without having to endanger your poor ear. Agreeing with the (sadly) 1 other reviewer who sees these candles for what they really are, they can do nothing but harm. Possibly, they could be relaxing, but nothing more. There most definitely is a placebo effect, which to some might be like finding out there is no Easter Bunny. Again, if you don't believe me, look it up absolutely anywhere and see for yourself. Unfortunately, probably for many of you with this "chronic" earwax buildup issue, the simple explanation is that you simply have not been helping it. Throw some wax-softening drops in your ear for a while each day and then flush it out (and trust me, just because they're FDA approved does not mean that they are "unnatural" or "unsafe" or untrustworthy for that matter.) There is a reason that no licensed physician will encourage you to light a fire near your ear canal. There is a reason they are not FDA approved, and interestingly, are illegal if their packages claim any medical benefit. Unless of course, anything that has to do with everything involving doctors, science or the government is a giant conspiracy and can't be trusted. No one is looking out for your health. Please continue lighting fires near your baby girl.

When the local health store went out of business I had problems finding the ear candles at a discount price. I checked out Amazon.com and again they fixed my problem. I got free shipping with the bargin price for the product. I will be buying this product again.

This is a very nice product but the heat from the bulbs melted the plastic holder after a few hours of use, fusing it to the metal stand. It's not a problem for the time being because I still have oil in the holder but I shudder to think what will happen when I have to add more oil.

attractive diffuser and pleasant flameless candle; does not seem to heat enough to diffuse aroma very far into room, however.

Looks great on the counter in my bathroom, not too big or too small, just right. Go out and buy your own oils as the ones that came with the kit do not have a strong scent.

My wife received this as a gift. It's a bit mesmerizing watching the flicker. On three occasions we've put a small bit of oil in the aluminum cup and noticed a short while later that the cup was empty, yet oily on its underside. Some quick detective work determined that the stamping of "CAUTION HOT" in the aluminum had been too zealous and the letter "A" was actually perforating the metal. Oil can therefore leak out and contact the heating resistor directly. This resistor is over 200 degrees F and I would assume this is not a safe condition. I have contacted Homedics and left a message on their customer service line. For now, we'll use it as a candle. Perhaps I can find another tea light that will fit in the holder. Nice item, but may be a safety hazard.

I purchased this item after seeing it at a friends home. I loved the way it looked and the scent diffused in the room nicely. I purchased my own and just love it. For the scent to be most effective,use 100% pure essential oils and put a few drops of oil on the rocks and over the plastic cover above the oil well. The scent lasts and lasts. 5-6 drops of oil lasts at least 18 hrs. More cost effective than candles and way prettier. Peppermint oil is best, the scent is strong enough to diffuse nicely and its very uplifting. Enjoy

I love eucalyptus and this candle smells nothing like it. It has an unnatural and unclean smell, something akin to burning trash. If you like the clean smell of eucalyptus, keep searching because this isn't the candle for you.

I love this candle. It has a real purifying scent to it without being overpowering. It has no toxins in it and uses a cotton wick. I gave several to a woman battling cancer to help her body relax and heal itself. I didn't want her using anything with petrochemicals or other nasties in it. I like to burn this one on my bedroom dresser, because that room gets less air flow and can sometimes feel "blah" and stagnant. This really freshens things up. It looks little in its little tin, but it burns a long time. The tin is handy to put little things in later when the candle is all used up. (The tin also makes it handy for travel and when you have a baby like mine who is a menace to all glass containers everywhere.)

I am not normally a candle person. Got this for emergency use and felt it would be a nice scent for that purpose, when everybody is a bit down. Used it during a recent weather scare and was pleasantly surprised how well this one worked. Nice bright light and a long burn life. After reading up on it, I found it was also good for the environment, with all natural ingredients. Looking forward to getting more and giving candles a chance. :)

All of Plantlife's candles are very aromatic. No black smoke and good for the environment. I love them

Ordered it for my mom's birthday. She lives in Texas. She was very happy and surprised to get it. She said that the rose smell was good and strong.

This is a great gift to tell your mom that she deserves some time all to herself. She can enjoy the candle and the bath items while savoring the goodies and reading a very heartwarming book. That's one heck of a hug!
