Ear Candling

Mrs PTP mentioned this to me tonight, and showed me a video of how it works, as she reckons I need to stop sticking cotton buds in my lugs.

The video makes it look as if she's maybe just planning on setting fire to me. But if she fails in that and does it properly maybe it will be a good thing.

Anyone got any experience of this?

If you need to clean out your ears use ear drops of olive oil which helps to soften the wax.

I don't think doctors surgeries provide a service anymore for wax removal, the doctor will refer the patient (if they deem it appropriate) to the hospital clinic.
My daughter brought a kit from the pharmacy a few weeks ago, very cheap and very effective.

The lump of wax was almost out and the instrument nowhere near the eardrum. It was just a question of getting it out intact. No need for sedation.

I've had my ears syringed a couple of times, it used to be done with a big syringe of warm water but now they have a pump that shoots pulses of warm water into your ear. It's a strangely pleasant feeling and nurses seem not averse to a bit of smutty inuendo.

So you've had it in the ear before?
