Folks- I was trying to be discreet.but The main point is that ear candling is a hoax. Try it over a glass of water. You'll find the exact same 'stuff' is found in the partially burnt candle even when it's held over water. You are looking at the melted wax from the candle (sort of brown

Perhaps some folks had more than one problem. In that case the sum would be different. My doctor's have told me to leave my ear wax alone unless it's causing some kind of problem. It's supposed to be there. That seems sensible to me. How does this procedure relate to "beauty?" Do we have

Lew, The Mariposa Co-Op has sold ear candling for many years, probably almost as many years as they have been open. That method is a long-time alternative health option. I prefer homeopathic ear drops. It has been suggested that the use of fire and a candle can be irritating to the membrane.
