have you ever used ear candels to remove ear wax, would you recommend it?

Answer 1

I have a girl working in my store who does ear candling. I totally recommend it. I had a really bad nasal drip that would really drip bad when I went to bed. I would caugh my fool head off all hours of the night. I had her do ear candling on me. I was so sceptical. Guess what it took only half an hour,it was very relaxing and my nasal drip is completely gone. I had that nasal drip for 16 years! I can hear way better.

Answer 2

Ear candles do paintings. I had an ear an infection from grimy water at a pool social gathering on the 4th of July final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days and that they worked great. the easy thank you to apply them are to push them into your ear a great way adequate that the hollow is sealed against your ear after which you easy the top. The air interior is burned with the help of the fireplace growing to be a vaccuum and sucking the dirt and wax out of your ear. A powerful hint is to shrink a hollow in a paper plate and use that as a preserve to steer away from being burnt with the help of falling debris or wax. they're many times decrease than a dollar and can be ordered on line. that's certainly a competent treatment. blanketed is a link to tutor those paranoid Dr's desiring your funds incorrect.

Answer 3

Yes, and sometimes they seem effective, and sometimes they don't. I always feel better after using them, and I think they mostly dry up the water in your ear, and don't remove a ton of ear wax. Most of what you see, in the bottom of the cone when you are finished is the actual wax from the cone. But I do think it helps and removes some and it is quite pleasant and relaxing. So yes, I do recommend it, but don't expect it to get all of the wax out of a very waxy or clogged ear.

Answer 4

Oh, that's just wrong!!!! No I would not recommend it at all.

Use olive oil warmed to loosen the wax not the cooking one!!! Buy the one from the chemist, then use cotton wool but gently don't go poking stuff down your ears. If it's still no better go to the Dr and they can syringe the wax from your ears!

Answer 5

No, I wouldn't use wax of any kind! A lot of these answers mirror my suggestion, a little warmed Olive Oil should do the trick. You might also try a hot pack or heating pad. Just lay your head on it for about 20 minutes and the wax should drip out on to the heating pad. That usually works for me.

Answer 6

I recommend HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, you put a few drops in the ear(make sure your head is tilted!) & it'll produce a fizzing action & melts the wax in the ear. Repeat if necessary the next day or a few hours later.
But make sure you don't have any scabs or cuts around your ear area.


PS. u can buy it in most chemists.

Answer 7

I am a holistic therapist and I would recommend the Hopi ear candles. YOu can buy them at the health food stores for a bout £6.00.
They are safe, because you are not actually sticking them RIGHT IN YOU EAR, but in enough to close the gap between the entrance of the ear and the candle- when lite it causes a vaccum effect, sucking all sorts out. Its amazing what it brings out. hard wax and everything.( your brain stays in)
They are also very relaxing, and soothing.

Answer 8

I've never used one, but I used to work in a health food store where they were sold. Some people swear by them, but there was one customer who claimed that she burned her eardrum when she tried one and later on had to have surgery. Some people claim that she didn't use the candle properly, but I don't know. Either way, good luck and be careful!:)

Answer 9

I would recommend trying it. In Australia its very common to find them on the counters of chemists and holistic shops. The ancient Egyptions used them originally and they built pyramids that still stand, so theres something in that! They should be sold with instructions (candles, not Egyptions!), so read them carefully and have someone with you incase you fall asleep coz it can make you drousy. Also open the candle up afterwards and look at all the gunk and insects that got sucked out, gross!

Answer 10

Ear candles are a hoax and a scam. Don't be one of the gullible ones. They don't remove ear wax AT ALL.
