Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 It should help. My son has always had an excess of ear wax. So, before we go to the doctors we cone his ears. The doctor asked me what happened, he could actually see in his ears. hehehe So, it does work. Takes a few times to get over being nervous having fire hanging over your head. But, then it gets easier. Good luck. Let me know how it goes. [] Re: OT: Preping for HBOT/ Ear Candleing Hi , I was one wanting to do it. I have always had a tendency to have lots of ear wax by mom says. I went for one hbot and had trouble with the pressure and my ears so thought I would try it. Thanks for sharing the instructions. Doesn't matter who it was addressed to. Barb > > Sorry if my post to how to use the ear candle was addressed to the wrong person. I left the computer, came back to type the message. Sent it, and then realized that my computer ate the original msg. So, I may have posted to someone elses reply. Sorry for that. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I guess you could catch your hair on fire...! Has anyone heard of any danger to ears? Here is a link from Quackwatch about ear candling but of course Quackwatch is supported financially from pharmacy industry to debunk alternative medicine so it is suspicious source itself. However it seems fire is main concern and then charge that wax found is actually is wax from the ear candle, not from the ear, which is a possibility? It's hard to tell who to trust these days, no many 'nuetral' sources since the government has shrunk from it's responsibilities to protect us. Perhaps one, maybe myself, could do experiment they suggest of 'candling' something that does not have wax in it to see if wax still collects and thus is indeed candle wax, not ear wax. If I do it, will report back. Sounds like something I could use if it works. --- <toriaquilts@...> wrote: > I've heard this is dangerous, but I don't KNOW > about it......for sure. > Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I know he is himself a quack but I posted link because I figured if there was any negative info on candling he would have it along with along with alot of invalid stuff as well, but then you can examine what is worst report and decide whether you want to try. Once in awhile in his pursuit to debunk alternative health practices he may stumble on a product with a real problem. It's good to hear what the worst that can be said by detractors. --- Angel!! <jap2bemc@...> wrote: > > Quckwat h is the lunatic and maniacal rantings > of Barrett a LOSER > in the field of medicine.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I read his info. Found it a bit interesting. But, can't say I have ever heard of the wax going into the ear and burning. We have used it for 13 years now. When I split it open I don't even see wax in there. Well I see ear wax, that's about it. The suction creates an upward force, not a downward force. Yes, you can burn yourself. But, you can burn yourself cooking too. Shoot, I do that all the time. Never with candling though. I think I am especially careful when using them. I don't wave them around like a baton. hehehe I use a plate to catch ashes, of which none have ever fallen, I keep the top cut to avoid this. We wet our hair before starting. I have a cup a water near just in case. But, I am not the expert here. Thank you for the link it is always good to read and research. I like to hear pros and cons of everything. Then I can make my own decision.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 , We've done ear-candling here too, for years, and we've never had any problems. Done it on my kids and myself and my hubby.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 It's up to you. I do my own. But, I've done it for awhile now. The first time was freaky, but I figured it out. Just depends on you. If you do it yourself, you'll want to have a mirror in front of you. If you have the money I'd let someone else do it. I don't have the money so learned how to do it myself.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Well I have never really disected it. But, what I see is ash like. Sometimes balls of ear wax, brown and soft.(no candle wax) The cone never gets hot on the bottom 1/2, just at the top by the flame. So, in reality I can't figure out how hot wax would go into the ear. By the time it would (if it did) even reach the bottom, it would have to drip the side. Then it would be getting cool, then it would have to be small enough to get thru the tiny hole at the bottom. Also, it would have to travel against the suction. Doesn't make sense to me. But, what do I know. All I know is it works for us. I've never really sat here and thought about this much. Just jumped in and gave it a try. hehehe Re: [] Re: OT: Preping for HBOT/ Ear Candleing Is there any chance that the wax you are seeing, is wax from the candle??? --- Cathe <cathe616@...> wrote: > , > We've done ear-candling here too, for years, > and we've never had any problems.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I find it humorous that something not approved by the government can cause so much concern and it's the government that is the one not to trust. I felt just as skeptical the first time myself but I also look at what people have done for centuries that has worked. It is only us who want to find a better way or whatever. This candle fire is like a back-draft in a fire. Nothing will get to your ears especially if the seal is good. (This is where the mirror is handy, if you see smoke around the ear you have broken the seal) The tube lets the fire pull from the center of the tube like a vacuum, nothing drips downward. I have burned one in my hands and still nothing drips to the bottom. is right, don't think about it just do it... is smiling, and that is a big chore today so thanks... <blackmold@...> wrote: Well I have never really disected it.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Barb, Wow, how interesting is that. I would swear when I have finished doing it and have looked VERY close at the build up that is in the bottom of the finished candle looks, feels and seems like it is actual ear wax. I am stuned at this information. That being the case what a waste of time it is as far as I am concerned. Besides I am not into supporting a company who is so deceptive like that. I have never seen a web address on any of the ones I have bought but I sure thank you for posting this. That is just crazy. barb1283 <barb1283@...> wrote: Okay, I just found some info on ear candleing and wax inside it is not ear wax, it IS wax from the candles as stated by a manufacturer ot ear candles, Wally's, at link below. It says that ear candling is to warm and hense soften the wax inside ears so that it may come out on its own naturally, so it may be good if you do it before bed and maybe overnight some will be able to flow out. It would seem though that warming up some ear wax cleaner/oil it would do that better. Last time I used otc ear wax cleaner/oil I used it at room temperature instead of warming it in. I used to sit it in warm water to warm it. Anyway, mystery solved. I had HBOT again and ears still were a problem. Person who assisted me with it said at first most people have trouble but then it seems to go away with repeated HBOT treatments. He said he took a series of treatments himself and had trouble with ears but it cleared up on its own without him doing anything. Just thought I would report this information. On box of Wally's candles it does NOT say that wax in candles is not ear wax but if you go to their site, they do say it, so a little tricky on their part I'd say but at least they admit is *somewhere*. <http://www.wallysnatural.com/how_to.html> > > > They are about foot long cones, I think made of > > gauze and wax of some sort but by burning them > > they soften and suck out ear wax buy the flames > > and the suction it creates.
