Actually, I've performed ear candling on several people, including my children. It is perfectly safe if you use the RIGHT type of candle. Where most people get into trouble is trying to use inferior materials, and the wax drips down into their ears. It is something that you should have some training to do (I have) and using quality materials is important. I've had it really clear up problems for people, and it does get out excess ear wax.
