The ear candle is in the form of an elongated tubular member tapering in diameter toward an end which is adapted to be inserted into a human ear. The tubular member is composed of unbleached cotton impregnated with beeswax which, when ignited burns and releases hot gas. The gas serves to heat and soften wax within the ear thereby aiding in the removal of the wax from the ear. The ear candle is made by providing a rectangular strip of unbleached cotton which has a length in the range of 15 to 20 times its width and in which its warp is parallel to the side edges thereof. A rod having an area coated with melted beeswax and an uncoated area is placed such that it is adjacent to one end edge of the strip and such that its coated area contacts the strip. The uncoated area of the rod is gripped and rotated in order to cause it to wrap itself spirally around the rod in a number of turns. The angle of the rod is adjusted while it rotates in order to cause the portion of the strip in one turn to overlap the portion in an adjacent turn.
