| Ear candling I went and had my ears candled today (a homeopathic doctor puts special candles in your ears, lights them, and they draw wax out of your ear) and I can't rave enough about it. While it was NOT a quick fix to my sinus infection I saw all the stuff that came out and I can see why i'm prone to sinus infections. I will be going back in a month to have it done again. I highly recommend this for anyone who suffers sinus infections, ear infection, migraines, allergies or balance problems. They can even do it for dogs!!!! I imagine if you have a dog with frequent ear infections this would help a lot! |

| I've heard the term, but never new what it was. It makes me wonder who came up with the idea of sticking a lit candle in someone's ear. Anyway, I'm glad it worked for you. The relief must feel so good.

| lol.. apparently the Chinese. The candle is hollow... creates a suction and the heat draws the wax up. |

| not at all.. it was so relaxing... and you can't even feel the wax moving. If she had never shown me the hollow candle i would have never believed that it could bring up wax. |

| I have used them at home. You can buy them in an herbal store. Someone lights the candle and holds in your ear. You can unroll the end and see all the yucky stuff that was in your ear. I love them.

| I have heard of them, but I have never been brave enough to use one. I might have to check them out at the herbal shop. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Very interesting. I have chronic ear problems. I have ezcema in my ears and the medicine I use for that blocks up my ears and I have to go to my ENT all the time to get them cleared out. This sounds like something I maybe could try at home. It didn't hurt at all?

if you do it at home.. it is VERY important to get a suction. i'm sure the directions will mention that. | |

| I've done this at home several times also. It doesn't hurt at all. I just cut a hole in a paper plate for the candle to sit in (so no ash gets on you by mistake), laid on my side and lit the candle. Mine took about 10 to 15 minutes per ear. The worst part to me was the smell of the candle burning. I tried doing it outside once, but it doesn't work as good because slight breezes mess it up. It's kind of neat in a weird way.
