Ever Try An Ear Candle?

[Doc Tinker]

I'll bet most of you guys don't know what an ear candle is.

Anyone ever use them and what do you think about them?

You need to put cotton in your ears for a while after you use it cause everything will be very LOUD !!!!!!

Wish I had one and a good one. Cost me 200. 00 last week to get rid of an ear-ache I had since July 4th weekend. Went to regular doc. 2 times. After a 4 week waiting period to see an ent and 30 minutes the ent vacuumed out my ear and gave me some drops. In about 3 days I was hearing again. I honestly couldn't hear my wife ask me to do stuff around the house.

Been using them for years. Make my own using thin cotton cloth wraped around a philips screw driver dipped in bees wax. Let cool and remove screw driver. I also us a small tin plate with a hole in it to keep the hot wax off my ear.

What th.....

What is an ear candle?? Tell us please!!!



I think I have seen an infomercial for a similar product from Ronco medical supplies called the 'COLON CANDLE. ' Be careful with this one, as careless use can cause unsightly wax buildup on your drawers and explosive gas discharge!!

I've used ear candles for years, they're great. Many health food stores carry them.

Napa Brake-Clean and compressed air works better though

they are awesome and you will never now how well you could hear until you try them. It is a little freaky lighting something on fire near your head.



The consept is cool. you have a cone of paper coated in something. You stick one end in your ear and light the other end on fire. the burning creates some heat but mostly suction the cleans the ear incredibly. It has been a while but that is how I remember.

OK - seeing as Ted has made a good a description of an ear candle, I guess we can't keep you guys in suspense any more.



Read the following link to see what it is and go to your local health food store tomorrow to get some for yourself. Your wife will love you for it.

EDIT: The instructions at the above site don't mention having someone help you. It's much easier if you have help.

Way back when I was a kid, I'd go with the family to Chinatown in SF and they would sell Alarm clock anus candles along the street corners. We wouldn't buy the candles but it was a neat concept. The candles were graduated with Hour marks. You Shove the candle up your A** to the corresponding hours that you wanted to sleep, then lit the candle. It would burn down the shaft until it reached the correct hour. Would Wake you up. Anyway, neat thread. Gotta a smile after reading the posts. Take care guys. Happy labor day, Most of us have earned this holiday many times over. Matt

Ear candles are for wussies. Just take a bic lighter, push it into you ear, then ignite. Same difference, even burns all the hair away. Works great on your nose too.

I shoulda known that something weird like this company would be just a few miles down I-40 from my house.



Curiosity will have me going by there in a few days.



If you're going down I-40 and see an Intense Blue Ram with an earcandle hanging out the window stuck in my ear, you'll know it's me.
