Ear candling treatment places

I am trying to track down a practice that has ear candle treatment, you know, the candle in the ear that draws the wax out.
Does anyone know where I can find a place that does this?

thanks

Whats wrong with shoving a Biro in there and having a good rummage round?

You might pierce your eardrum, Spiderpig.

You can buy ear candles online at visana.de. They are called "Ohrkerze" in German.

Hello Rob 19
Though I do not know you at all
You have the right to ask about
The wax that you want out

And it seems to me you want to have
A candle in your ear
Cuz the build-up you have going
Makes it hard for you to hear
And I'd really like to help you
But I haven't got a clue
I just hope that you succeed
In clearing out the goo

Ok, I will check this out, I would prefer to go somewhere and see people that know what they are doing, I don't want to damage my ears. Have you used these in the past?

How many cups of stupid juice do you have to drink every morning to believe that shoving a stick of wax in your ear and lighting it on fire will make you healthy? Even the 19th century quacks with their bleeding machines and heroin-based cure-alls were closer to actually doing something medical.

woof.

Yes, Rob, I've used them. Regularly. They're great. Afterwards I can hear for miles and miles.

Pay no attention to BadDoggie's new fangled science nonsense.

If you try it, be sure to come back and let us know how you get on.

I have done it before and know the benefits, I have always gone to Chinese place in London though so I was just looking for a place here that had the same sort of set up.

BadDoggie, well maybe try it then? I speak from experience and plently of other people do. also my doctor put me on to the idea. So... "in your basket!"

Another, briefly described, experience: On Ear Cones and Candles
typical rip-off in my eyes...
but nevermind, boost the economy!

Candling is stupid.
Your doctor is even stupider.
Ear candling is stupid and dangerous.

If you continue to refuse to accept logic, reasons, and science then clearly your chakras must out of alignment causing chi flow turbulence. Luckily I spent three years studying gem and colour therapy under the direction of Tibetan monks (2 years) and Shinto priests (third year) and for only €250/session I can restore your energy balance holistically in only three months.

woof.

Why not just put a capfull of hydrogen peroxide in your ear? It works wonders! It's like Drain-O for the ear. And at $1.50 a bottle, that's about 200-ish capfulls. It does tickle a little, though.

Lay on one side, put in a capfull on the up-facing ear, let it work for a few minutes, tilt head to allow ear to drain, dry lightly with a Q-tip. Repeat on other ear. Done.

I had a commercial pilots medical in Montreal and the doctor looked in my ears and said you have some wax there. So he put a stainless steel bowl on my shoulder then got this hand operated pump type device that sqirted cold water very hard into my ear. I think the cold water kind of hardens the wax and the gushing water just pops it out in one lump. I was amazed and it felt great afterwards. Don't mess with your ears go and see a qualified doctor.

I agree to that 110% ! If you feel that your ears need to be cleaned, go see a doctor!

Ear candles are nothing but bogus and quacking! It can be dangerous and it will not get your ears clean. Check Wikipedia if you don't believe us.

For the record, even ear candling proponents admit that it's neither a medical procedure nor a procedure which can remove ear wax. Don't take my word for it; read it for yourself.


Ah, the scientifical energy modality conversion to vortex.


The nitwit who wrote this and so much more then finishes by writing how this non-medicinal, non-earwax-removing procedure has been an "extremely useful treatment" despite his previous 500 words or so explaining that it is, in fact, totally useless.

woof.

Yeah, but a continuously advancing circle of flame toward the brain has an element of danger to it, so it's got that going for it.

I think the term ear coning, befits the procedure better.

Or maybe with a double n.

Yeah that's what I've always done You can also put oil in your ear for a few days to soften the wax if you have a really hard lump in there. My doc in Canada recommended this!

I've never had a problem with build-up in my ears. The only thing I do to clean them is let warm water run in them when I shower. When I bathe, I put my ears under water, hold my nose and turn my head side to side under water to make sure there are no air bubbles in my ears and then soak like that. I don't do it specifically to clean my ears, I do it because it feels kinda nice, but I think it works to clean the ears. Especially since I bathe in pretty hot water, sometimes with baby oil in it.

The inside of my left ear has started itching after reading his thread...

so you want to pay people to shove things in your body orifices?

lulz

I know this is supposed to be a serious thread, but for some reason it's got me giggling uncontrollably. At first I thought the "candles" were just some device to poke out the wax, but now I read that they really are meant to be lighted... but only in one ear at a time, I take it ... or in both ears simultaneously?

I dunno, somehow it all sounds so ... romantic ... ear wax removal by candlelight ... and yet...

I was surprised that I had to look through 12 pages of google image search results before I got a funny one. Ear Candling is pretty popular, for something I've never heard of before.

I have to say, some people on this board really take a lot of time and effort proving how high and mighty they are.. my advice:

Put less energy into being a moron, all your advice isn't advice at all it is all about how god damn smart you are how great you are.. it is nothing more than your ego polluting the net further, there are plently of armchair back slappers out there whos only goal is to seem great.. I am guessing off of the internet (without your search engine too) you are a sad little man that nobody likes.

I bet you cannot NOT reply to this.

Less talking, more ear candling

I think we all, except for stubborn-Rob1119, can agree on that sticking coned candles in your ear is a really bad idea,

but are the any other uses for this candle? Got any bright ideas?

Forget "talk to the hand", this what im going to say in future.

Go and see an ear Doctor...Ok it feels like he is trying to suck your brains out from your ear through a straw, but you will feel better afterwars...especially if you ask him to keep the 'ear juice' that he sucks out!

That was the funniest -- and saddest -- thing I've read all day.

Young man, there is nothing cool about ignorance. You wrote about a bullshit procedure designed to separate the gullible and stupid from their cash. I find it somewhat odd that I'm not in favour of such behavious but altruism has its occasional benefits.

Have a look around the board a bit and notice that 1) I don't really give a rat's ass what people think about me, and 2) people here will attest to the fact that along with my obnoxiousness comes an awful lot of information.

You're more than welcome to post as proof of your stupidity and ignorance on this site as the mods will let you get away with. But what gives you the right to post also gives me the same right to respond, and I really can't help myself when someone's being stupid. I take 90 seconds or so to show just how idiotic a particular post might be. Candling and other such "alternative" nonsense are like crack for me.

Unlike some of the newage stupidity with sparkly rocks and coloured bits of paper, ear candling is dangerous. It cannot remove cerumen. It can't do all that other magical stuff like "restoring personal energy balance". It's not just fraudulent but DANGEROUS, so dangerous that it's illegal in Canada and Health Canada comes down hard on anyone trying to manufacture or import that stuff even when they write "for entertainment purposes only" on the packaging.

You want to be stupid? You think that's cool? Fine. I don't. I despise stupid people, especially the willfully stupid. I worry that the ignorant people -- people who simply don't know about a subject -- will take advice from the willfully stupid. This is what I try to prevent.

CANDLING IS DANGEROUS. IT POSES MANY RISKS BUT OFFERS NO BENEFITS OR RELIEF OF ANY KIND. IT IS A SWINDLE WHICH CARRIES VERY REAL PHYSICAL DANGERS.


We call this "projection": claiming that the target of your anger or argument is guilty of that which, in reality, you are. There have been threads on this site about whether or not I live off search engines and everyone from Editor Bob to Eleanor Rigby (and everyone else who's ever met me at a dinner or drink event) has said the same thing: nope. Even rat-assed I spit out info on demand and from what I understand, I can be quite entertaining.

woof.

BD, I suspect you're being trolled. Think of Jack's earwax.

Hah! You write that as if you think I spent more than 6 minutes on this thread, which despite writing this answer, I haven't yet.

woof.

Well, I don't know about sticking actual lighted candles in one's ears, but I can wholeheartedly attest to the benefits of reading about putting candles in one's ears. Dunno if it just hit a funny nerve with me, but it had me giggling uncontrollably for much of yesterday afternoon and evening, resulting in a greatly enhanced sense of well-being.

And look at the effect it had on Keydeck. Whether it got the wax out of his lugholes, I don't know, but it certainly made him wax poetic.

Agreed, his "Candle in the Ear" is positively wick-ed.

I remember a few years ago there was someone trying to show how much of the wax that ends up in the candle is actually 'ear juice' and one candle was put in someones ear and one in a cup or something. Both ended up with about the same amount of wax.

How do they stop the wax from the burning candle from dripping into the blokes ear and causing more of a blockage?

Duh! He stands on a treadmill while the candles are alight, dopey.

I've known people to do this candling to treat ear ailments and what I say to them to try to discourage them from this very dangerous practice is this: This damage to your ear and your sense of hearing is not worth you trying to escape the cost of paying for an ear specialist intervention.

It's only just dawned on me: Keydeck's poem is meant to be sung to the tune of "Candle in the wind". Brilliant!

Oh no, I'm gonna be giggling hysterically all night now...

Moving to Berlin has meant a lot of stress for me. I feel I have to get rid of the pressure built up in my head.

Anyone knows where to get a good trepanation in this town? (I'm ready to pay a little bit extra for a really good studio!)

If you can make the trip to Munich I've long been a practitioner of reverse phrenology and have, since 1998, increased my knowledge further in my studies of trepanning. I offer traditional trepanning with oak and flint, Eastern trepanning with teak and basalt or, if you prefer, modern Western with stainless steel implements. My rates are quite reasonable and I can bring in chakra and chi consultants to make your experience more relaxing and energy-reviving for a nominal fee.

woof.

Ignore him streamline. You need to contact the practise of Messers Bosch, Black and Decker, Esq. in Harley Street. I would strongly advise against using any Bavarian backstreet alternative 'practitioner' that advertises on these types of forums.

I am now offering "tantrum" massage. If you are "fit" to be tied, then my services will benefit you. You will lay back and think of the Earth moving as the stress and worries leave your inner space. Female clients only and the basic package starts at €1,000. Repeats visits may be necessary depending on your level of stress and my level of acceptance. Fill your inner space and loose your potential.

xkcd.

xkcd 4 the win!

Totally and completely unfair when a mod with the power to remove this OT response puts that shit up, especially when in this case, it wasn't just someone being wrong but someone being wrong in such a way as to be PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS to any idiot trying it.

woof.

It's PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS to do lots of things there Mr. Doggie. Is it our place to stop people doing PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS things? No, I don't think so. Not if they're adult and it remains a personal freedom to choose. It is merely our place to observe people doing PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS things and grinning inanely when they mess it up.

Sin, BadDoggie cares about other people. That's the only reason he made his comments on this thread. He's a cuddly-wuddly canine who just wants everyone to be happy and healthy.

As opposed to spikey little me that wants everybody to be unhappy and injured. Is that what you're sayin'?

This is interesting prespective as every adult should be responsible for their own actions, so why should the mods remove this thread? If you chose to do something as stupid as this (candling for ear treatment) then you have to live with the consequences of your ignorance.

The mods shouldn't be here to protect people from themselves, that's inherent in our responsibility as adults.

You're wagging your tail in the wrong direction.

Next people will be asking the mods to post at the door of TT: "consume information on TT at your own risk" .

Ear candling for smokers

Have you abandoned/sold the dog yet?
