Have you ever used an ear candle?

We have used ear candles many times. They work very well. You must be careful for many reasons. You want to purchase beeswax candles because they are softer. I believe the previous answer about deafness may have been concerned with puncturing an eardrum or something, but done correctly, there is little risk, as long as you don't set yourself or your house on fire! You should never do this without two people. Follow the directions carefully. Have the bowl of water close by. Never ever do this if you have been drinking alcohol. After you candle ears, for the next day, you should stay in a fairly quiet environment, so plan your time well. This is a practice that has been done for centuries, and the results can be very beneficial as well as theraputic. We have friends that ask us to candle their ears about twice a year. We also have one friend that tried it and didn't like it at all and goes to the doctor to have her ears cleaned. It is just personal preferance like anything else.
