It is not beeswax candles. Indeed you should never stick a *candle* in your ear. Ear Candles are made of some sort of stiff cloth with a slightly waxy coating. They are hollow tubes. You stick the narrow end in the ear and set fire to the other end. The warmth of the flame softens the wax while the updraft created pulls it from your ear. I have had mixed results with them, but I wouldnt call them an out and out fraud.
