Has anyone heard this technique to clean the wax out of your ears before? Neither have I until I did it the other day. I recommend anyone that has headaches and throat infections and if your ears hurt to do this, its great, I can hear sooo much better now.

Re: NWR: Ear Candling
I am really going to look into this!!! I have such bad ear wax and problems with headaches occassionally. I wonder if my mom or grandma have heard of this. I am going to check. Thank you for the idea.

Re: NWR: Ear Candling
girls, i really don't recommend this!
the cerumen (or ear wax) that builds up in your ear is there for a reason! it catches bacteria and organisms and keeps them from entering your middle ear. the wax will naturally build up and fall out on its own.

you are going to laugh but this is what my mom does and HAS always done to us growing up!
She makes a cone out of newspaper, places the pointy side in our ear then lights it on fire, it ***** the wax out. if you unroll the paper you can see the wax.
I know gross but sheswears by it!
My Dad this to me when I was younger, and it does work. I have so many old weird rememdies, but they work.

Yes everyone needs ear wax to prevent infections but its really good to do once a year, the wax will build up again

Re: NWR: Ear Candling
I've had my ears irrigated with water...my doctor does this every once in a while for me. I used to have bad ear infections as a kid, and my inner ears have alot of scar tissue.
