  3. Interesting! Never heard of earcanding before so naturally I did search on internet about that. There are cons and pros to it. Check them out by googling "earcanding."

    It is said to help tinnitus, which I often have when using aids. My aids are not in use anymore because they're useless for me and that they cause tinnitus when put on.

  4. when inserting the ear candle, you want to create a natural suction in your ear (so it should not be loose, nor too tight that it hurts your ear). the fire at the end of the candle needs oxygen to keep burning, so it draws the oxygen from your ear canal (and from ur brain? LOL).

    when you are done ear candling and you see nothing in your ear candle, it seems you need to wiggle your ear candle around to find that snug feeling of "suction".

    and yes there are a lot of people who dispute the benefits of ear candling. all i can say is: seeing is believing. the ear candle was absolutely empty when i put it in my ear, and when done, i see brown, greenish, burnt orange ear wax goo inside. even sand from the beach after swimming. don't understand why the naysayers say it doesn't work... hmm.

  5. Raychelle, that helps a lot! I didn't realize that suction is necessary for it to work, although that makes a lot of sense.

  6. It is possible a lot of people who dispute the benefits were influenced by modern medicine. Doctors who practice modern medicine are likely to dispute this in order to bring in $$ when people see them for wax cleaning. So, who knows! I'll have to see for myself one day.

  7. Katherine, I agree with your point on profit-driven doctors. In addition, I think most American doctors do not know how to treat their patients naturally and holistically because those kind of subjects are often not taught in medical schools.
