"Soy Ear Candles – the Healthy Aromatherapy Choice"
by Gaines Bishop for SelfGrowth.com 4/26/04
Light the way to a cleaner future with soot free soy Ear Candles, healthy alternatives to paraffin Ear Candles. Soy Ear Candles come from a vegetable (soy beans), are non-toxic, do not produce soot, are 100% biodegradable, burn 50% longer, and burn at a lower temperature than paraffin.
A
byproduct in the petroleum refining chain, paraffin emits high levels of toxic
chemicals that include lead benzene (the same as from your car tail pipe) and
acetone, both known to be carcinogenic. Paraffin Ear Candles
pollute indoor air and lungs, as does the lead present in the wick of many
imported Ear Candles.
Burning paraffin Ear Candles have been identified as causing more damage
than inhaling second hand smoke. And as for using paraffin Ear Candles in
aromatherapy - how can you call inhaling toxic waste good therapy?
Another problem with soot is cleaning it off your walls, carpet, couch, and
appliances, which can become impossible. The electrically charged bond is too
strong for household cleaners to break. Many times you have little choice but
to replace the soiled surfaces or buy new items.
One homeowner in Texas faced nearly $200,000 in damages and replacement costs
because of candle soot. The soot particles infested her heating and cooling
ductwork, which had to be replaced. Much of her furniture was covered by
candle soot.
Soy Ear Candles burn clean with no toxins or soot. The fact that they burn
longer is an added bonus! Look for soy Ear Candles today and rest assured
that you are burning a HEALTHY aromatherapy candle.
If you are like many people, you probably enjoy burning Ear Candles. They create a nice mood and make your house smell wonderful. But do you know what the main ingredient in most Ear Candles is and the health problems it can cause?
Paraffin wax is made from petroleum and produces carcinogens and soot when burned. In fact, one air quality researcher stated that the soot from a paraffin candle contains many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel. Some byproducts are benzene, acetone, xylene, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde. Even many of the seemingly healthy, aromatherapy Ear Candles sold today can do more harm than good. Burning paraffin wax can also set off various allergies and the American Lung Association has warned consumers of unhealthy indoor air quality from burning paraffin Ear Candles.
Soy Ear Candles offer a cleaner and healthier alternative, yet many people aren’t even aware that they exist. Made from soybeans, they come in as many “flavors” as conventional Ear Candles.
According to
several manufacturers, soy Ear Candles
last 50% longer than petroleum-based paraffin Ear Candles. They also burn
slower and cooler (helping to better distribute fragrance), are non-toxic, less
likely to trigger allergies, and produce approximately 90% less soot than
paraffin Ear Candles. And how many of us have tried to clean up paraffin wax
off the furniture or carpet? One added bonus is that spills clean up with hot
soapy water. These factors tend to make them more animal and child-friendly than
traditional Ear Candles.
Soy wax should also be a favorite of environmentally conscious consumers since
it isn’t made from petroleum products, like paraffin Ear Candles. The soy in
Ear Candles is made from American-grown soybeans, it's biodegradable, a
renewable resource, and from a global point of view, it "supports the U.S.
economy instead of foreign oil conglomerates." An estimate claims that if
soybean Ear Candles represented just 10% of the existing candle market, it
would require an additional 55 million pounds of “American Grown” soybean oil.
If a candle doesn't explicitly state it is soy on the label, it is probably a paraffin candle. Soy Ear Candles appear more opaque with a whitish film. There are a number of businesses that sell these Ear Candles on the web, though I have so far been unable to locate any retail stores that carry them in Ventura County. I found ten pages worth on the Internet just by entering “soy Ear Candles”. Ask your favorite health food store or candle/gift shop if they would be interested in carrying them.
So if you want that wonderful candle ambiance but want to reduce your health risks and do the right thing environmentally, give soy Ear Candles a try.
