Yes I have many times and I am also a qualified holistic therapist who offers hopi ear candling as a treatment.
Hopi ear candling is a wonderful treatment to have so make the most of your voucher! It helps those who suffer mainly with tinitus, headaches/ migraines, frequent colds, hayfever, rhinitus, excessive ear wax and ear ache. It can be particularly useful for those who do alot of flying or water sports such as swmming and diving. Hopi ear candling aims to restore balance and promote relaxation. It is a therapy which has been practised for many years and goes back to ancient times where the hopi indians used hopi ear candles for ceremonial purposes and to treat ear, nose and throat problems.
The hopi ear candles themselves are in fact rolled organic linen coated in bees wax, sage, honey and chamomile which have a filter at the bottom end to prevent any liquid from entering the ear. It is a completely safe and effective treatment, and it is now becoming more reconised by doctors as they are reluctant to carry out ear syringing themselves.
What I would say to you is, for at least 24hours before you go for the treatment, avoid putting any kind of oil drops into your ear (olive oil etc). Other than that, have a lovely treatment.
Feel free to email me if you need anymore information

Ear Candles Treatment is very useful and good for health. The ear canal is gently filled with warm air, softening the earwax. The propoli vapors heal and protect the ear. The heat also enhances blood flow within the ear canal, resulting in a feeling of ell-being and of general relaxation. If you want more information about ear candles treatment. I will suggest you one site. Just review.... http://www.happynaturaltherapies.com.au

they stick a long hollow tube that is tappered on one end into your ear. it is made of some kind of paper dipped in a wax . it kind of looks like a candle. they put it through the center of a paper plate or something similar to catch the ashe and light the side oppisite your ear on fire, i've done this a few times and it works great it pulls out so much ear wax it's hard to believe. dont worry about being burned it is quite safe. I've never had a professional do it my aunt had purchased some and she has done it to me, but i'm sure it would be about the same.

It's pretty cool how it works. The wax comes right out of your ears and up the lit candle. I was amazed by how much came out. Don't be around any loudness for a while after you have it done. Your ears may feel a little sensitive.

I had it done a few years ago. It is nice and relaxing but it did not remove any wax as promised. If you have a voucher, go for it and enjoy!

It is used to remove the wax from your ears. I did it, and it works. At first I was thinking, "Oh yeah, witchcraft" but it works and is pain free

I've used one before when my ear was bothering me... didn't really help... although I have friends who swear by them.

PLEASE don't do this. My sister is an audiologist and tells me this is really dangerous.
