Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 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...
