Stores that sell ear candles are no longer difficult to find, since holistic and alternative medicine are very popular choices for medical treatment. Be sure to check with these stores:

Some holistic and alternative medical professionals sell ear candles at their clinics. You may find some for sale at your local massage therapist shop. The benefit of finding these offices is that you can often include ear candling as part of your therapy or massage treatment.
How to Choose Ear Candles
There are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing ear candles, whether you're making your purchase online or in person. This is especially true if this is the first time you'll be buying and using the product.
Ear Candle Ingredients
One of the most important things to know about ear candles is what they are made of. If you prefer to use products made from natural ingredients or have an allergy to certain products, it's imperative to know what your ear candles are made from before buying them. A variety of different waxes can be used to make them, including soy, paraffin, beeswax, or a blend of waxes. The fabric used to line the inside of the candle should be a natural one, such as pure cotton or linen.
Included Information and Instructions
Ear candles should always come with a set of detailed instructions for use. You'll also want to know how to clean up after ear candling, and what to do if something should go wrong. One other thing to look for is the manufacturer's contact information, in case you have problems or want to order more candles. Read all of the included instructions very carefully before attempting to use any ear candles.
Shipping Charges for Ear Candles
If you're placing an order for ear candles online, make a note of the shipping charges. Many sellers ship internationally, but the cost for international customers can really add up and take away from the convenience of online ordering. Compare the total price, including shipping, to the cost of purchasing locally. You may decide that it's worth making a quick trip out to pick up your ear candles in person.
Safe Ear Candling
Once you've learned what stores sell ear candles and decided on where to buy them, make sure that you are well informed on their use and possible side effects. Accidents can happen any time candles are used, and this is especially true when the candles are resting inside your ear. If possible, use your new ear candles with a buddy just in case something goes wrong.
Stores That Sell Ear Candles
You can find ear candles in almost every health food, alternative lifestyle, eco-friendly, and big box stores. Shop for ear candles online or in local stores for variety and cost savings.
