Are you getting your Nun jokes mixed up?
I thought it was -
Where's the soap, and Candles out at midnight sisters.
There was one about a Nun cycling along a cobbled street, can't remember it but you get the general idea.
Back on the OP, next time you are abroad, buy an ear syringe (they dont sell them in the UK but do seem to abroad). Then just do it yorself every few months. Sorts me out and is strangely nice to do with the feeling of warm water inside your head.

I thought you were supposed to use oil? Olive oil or almond oil i.e. something a bit lighter than Finish Line.
Ear candling is another of those voodoo treatments like reflexology, aromatherapy and Reiki. It has no physical mechanism and any 'stress relieving' effect is purely from having spent some money and having someone fuss over you. That is a real effect, of course, but having them stroke your hair while reading Noddy to you in Uzbek would work just as well.

Had it done at a Center Parcs weekend once. Would do it again, as it worked for me, but that's not to say it will for everyone. Can vouch for it being very relaxing.

That butt candle add reminds me of the days of playing "Dance Of The Flaming peanuts" at the rugby club. That used to shift a bit of earwax....

My wife tried them. I had to sit there holding the stupid things as they burnt down. Complete waste of time. She said it was relaxing but made no difference to her ears at all.

For ear wax, olive oil is the way to go... used it a few times over the years, bring it to room temp (or even gently warm it, but BE VERY CAREFUL IT ISN'T HOT)... messy, but does the job.

Before you buy these things, have a read of Ben Goldacre's "Bad Science". Then, if you fancy wasting your money on such new age hippy bullshit, buy them by all means. Alternatively, find out what they cost and then set fire to that amount of money, or perhaps drop it down a drain.
