its a tube of hard cotton type stuff and you get someone to hold it against your ear and set the top alight…
the smoke goes down into your ear and the idea is that it relaxes you…its lovely
and some types help ear infections too.
try it
you can get them from holland and barret or the internet
they do a similar type treatment in paks, and red injuns have been doing it for centuries so it appears to be relatively harmless…unless your hair catches alight!
I had ear candling done by my friend this past Sunday. It felt weird, but in a good way.
Basically, she placed the pointy end of a candle inside my ear. The candle is all hollow from the inside and the top is lit with a flame and the candle melts while the flame heats and absorbs wax from way down, inside your ears. She needed to keep trimming the candle from the top until it was nearly finished. At the end, she opened up the candle and showed me all the wax inside. It was gross, but my head felt a lot lighter afterwards. Getting it done is a bit scary at first but ultimately, it was quite relaxing.
Q-tips actually serve to shove more wax back into your ear than they manage to extricate.. which is kinda impossible the way they're supposed to operate anyway..
Best is to get it cleaned at the doctors.. they give you these drops to pour in your ears for a few days before the cleaning and then have a suction thingamajimmi that just sucks all crap outta your ears leaving you light headed like u've just read a bunch of posts in Religion by the a$$wipes that frequent it these days.
i still use Q-tips.
