http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_candling It is amazing, I would be the spokesperson for the ear candles if I could. I had a half a packaging peanut lodged in my ear for who knows how long until I did this the other day. I checked in the hollow ear candle tubes to see if anything was there and it was empty. I don't understand at all how the fuck I could hear with that huge styrofoam chunk jamming my ear canal. I didn't even feel it come out at all, it just sounds like it is sucking wax out. I recommend this to anyone who isn't sure if they have random shit stowed away in their ear.
i remember last spring they were talking about this a lot on the radio. At work we were always going to buy some and try them but never did. I might have to actually do that.
I always wondered why there was a constant plugged feeling in my left ear too. That'd be hilarious if you found something in your ear also.
My entire family does this, not really often, but it is a great feeling after. BTW: Not all of it inside the candle is from your ear some of it is from the wax itself.
Wow, I've never even heard of ear candling. This kind of blew me away for a minute there. Where would you get these?
So THAT'S where my hampster went! But seriously, I'm not putting a lit candle anywhere near my ear. That would freak me out for sure.
While ear candles are widely available in the U.S., selling or importing them with medical claims is illegal[3]. Ear candles cannot be legally sold in Canada. [4]
have them syringed. fucking brilliant. when i came out the surgery i could har peoples keys in there pockets when they walked past and everything.
yeah? cause Im deaf ... or going deaf and its so frustrating... if I could hear properly I'd dance 24-7.
I did it once when I was a kid. My grandpa knew how to make the tube things, but I could have sworn that we did it with the thing pointing down and only smoldering. I guess that wouldn't work though, smoke would have gone into your ear, so I think I'm remembering it wrong.
" It has been reported that ear candling is both dangerous and ineffective by medical researchers" lol
I mean that if you had it pointed down the smoke would rise right up into your ear and make your ear canal black with soot. That would just be disgusting. Actually, we probably did the horizontal method, and I remember them showing me the shit in the tube afterward.
