Ear Candles

this was mentioned in a recent thread. does this really
work? i've read all over the place that it's bogus, that
the "ear wax" seen is only the candle wax and it doesn't
really do anything except that the warmth of the candle
makes you feel good. and it so happens that ear coning is
associated with the new age group while doctors will have
nothing to do with the practice, so you got to be a little
suspicious.

yes, loving it! i hated that empty slot so much.

coffee, i don't know a lot about it... concept is there is a
hollow cone candle that is stuck in your ear and the heat
melts your ear wax and clears your channels.

I've heard of it. My hairdressers daughter has done it and
your hearing becomes better with the cleared out
passageways.

how could the heat from wax, melt more wax, wouldnt it take
a flame to do that? I really dont know the what the
consistancy of ear wax is though so i shouldnt be talking.

anyone else know about this? i question it cause i read
something on hoax tracker dot com or some such website that
said it was bunk, but some of those sites are as fanatical
as a conspiracy theory site.

i was the one who mentioned it, and yeah, i hear it works
wonders. as a musician, i am concerned with maintaining my
ears and hearing. not OBSESSED, but attentive to the idea. i
would like to get it done, as i hear there is a noticable
difference in your, um... hearing.

sounds kind of kinky :) i imagine ear candies would come in
a thick syrup consistency liquid form.

hey jup!

i heard it's ze REAL deal. you can do it yourself, but i
wouldn't recommend it!

ahhaha

i think most full service salons do it for a nominal fee
10-15 dollars......

you can also go the old fashioned route and have your doctor
give you the ole ear lavage.....interesting things we have
hanging around our ears......EWWWWWWWW

i've done it several times .. great fun, you hear all this
stuff (quasi-bubbling sounds) whilst the candle is in your
ear. i think it kind of works. the idea seems pretty
straight forward. but doctors don't like it, because it
leaves a very fine white residue in the ear that looks like
a fungus.

"placebo"

Points: 4605 Status: Regular



nothing wrong with placebo - it works doesnt it!!! ... you
can unroll the candle at the end and see all the earwax
(=evidence?).

however, only time i ever used it turned out to be
ineffective because it was internal (behind the ear
drum/eustachian tube).

I think masturbation cures cancer. It's cheaper and more
relaxing than ear candling too.

you'll have to eat lots of carrots too though, to prevent
blindness
