Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi Jodi, I've had ear candling done. I don't know how you can do it yourself, though. Flames close to the hair are a bit nervous-making. I don't think it's all that effective. But I have found the Ear Clear syringe very effective. Check it out at http://www.earclear.com/. Safe and easy-just use in the shower. Sue > > Hi Jodi, > > Not 100% sure if ear candling is legit. or not but I did see an Aussie programme a while ago ( magazine/lifestyle type programme) . Certainly looked interesting. Basically a funnel /tube placed in the ear with a larger opening at the other end. The practitioner lit a small fire up the top end (well away from the ear) which created a vacuum and the wax was gently sucked out by the vacuum. Apparently it sounds like a volcano inside your head whilst its being done. I too have ears that gunk -up frequently & I hate getting them done at the doctor with the water. I believe it also poses a risk of a perforated eardrum with the water method after repeated episodes.(Nice!!!) Maybe somebody on the list has had some experience and will post. Would be good to have a safe alternative. > > Best wishes > > Gillian > SCD 2 years > undiagnosed/ hla B27 pos > New Zealand > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
