I had my ears candled this morning.


Just thought you'd all like to know!

maybe they poured wax into her ears, and  it got into her brain and now she's got wax-on-the-brain which makes her mildy insane


i mean, maybe, maybe not

so i looked up ear candling and perhaps it's just us mitchell - its something to do with sticking candles in your ears and sucking out the energy, all sounds a bit dodgy to me (actually, i've just properly read that article, and it's a tad cynical about it all)


but dont panic, the only dangers are burning, infection, obstruction of the ear canal and perforation of the eardrum 


no big deal


 


i found a pic of vic having it done

Actually it's putting hollow cangles in your ear which warm up all the wax and then suck it out and it doesn't hurt.


It was very relaxing and very effective!  I can now hear again!


(You even get to open up the candle and have a look at what came out!! - eeeeuuuwww!).

wow, who needs antidepressants when we can all go have our ears candled.  As for the dangers, no pain no gain, or at least that's the attidude you need to go have this done.


 


I learn something new every day, just that this isn't a run of the mill thing to learn.


 


Cheers KT for your dedication to persueing the subject further so we aren't all stabing in the dark..... get it... candles.... .... sorry I couldn't resist


 


All I can say is, DON'T fall asleep getting too relaxed, the candle won't last forever

I don't know where you can go.  I had it done in Occupational Health at work - but you can buy the candles on line (it's not dangerous - they burn down to about 4 inches away from your head) and you can do it yourself.  Just remember to put warm olive oil in your ears each night for a couple of days before hand to start it all getting soft!!

I don't think I'd put candles in a baby's ear!!  It is very gentle though - much less distressing than syringing!

Vic, you look so much younger than when I saw you on Wednesday.  If that's what candling does for you I'm a convert!
