Hi- Tonight my roomate and I are going to ear candle, she has done this before and I have not but I'm very excited! Through online research I have recieved mixed reviews. Has anyone done these before and had effects either way? We are just going to blaze a blunt and drink some wine and do ear candles. It'll be chill. Let me know though! :hippy:
what the fucks an ear candle? lol
sounds... err, special. enjoy
Dude, wait, what? Ear candle? Is that where you make a candle from earwax like in Shrek?
my aunt is a massage therapist in WV and she has this as a service she provides along with nettie pots, she wanted me to do them when she got them and i told her flat out no. What it is is a tube you place in your ear and lite the end on fire, and through suction or something it helps remove earwax from your ear very well, it then leaves a stick of wax hanging there, i always thought it would tickle the inner part of my ear if the wax is moving past it, but its new age stuff.
They are very effective, I tried them a few years back to get rid of some stubborn earwax, in fact we still have some in the house some where. I found it most relaxing despite initial fears about sticking something lit in my ear.
Enjoy the experience.

Ear candling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow, that's pretty cool :D
Sounds interesting. Nothing I'd be excited about as earwax removal isn't all that fun. :p
They definitely work well.
So give us an update. Did your head burst into flames?
Well according to Wikipedia they don't.Quote:

People on this board seem to disagree though. Wikipedia is always thought of as unreliable..:stoned:
Has anyone ever tried ear firecrackers? That'll clean your head out.
Wikipedia may be right and it may be wrong all I know is they worked for me when I tried them, so based on that I highly reccomend them.Quote:

Well, we never heard back from bentleygtgirl. I think it's safe to assume she imolated herself and sticking a lit candle in your ear is not a good idea unless you are trying to make a martyr of yourself for a very important cause.
you crack me up dragonrider
Oh I know what those are now. I have heard of em called sum thin different. They work well for water in the ears that you just cant get out. or when your ears wont pop after a plane ride. I think it works on the pressure difference after the top of the cone is lit. I had smoke signals comming out of my head one time. preaty kool
I've been wanting to try those for a while- wonder how it went?
How it went? It went running down the street with it's hair on fire!Quote:

One of the dangers of using ear candles is that it not only sucks the wax out of your ears, but it also takes a little bit of brain each time.
Youre just rattling off the one liners in this thread, rep for the effort!Quote:

She used a bulb syringe to gently flush my ears with some kind of warm water and peroxide mixture. She was sort of pressed up against me the whole time. She cradled my head with one hand, while with the other, she gently flushed my ear with warm bubbly liquid. The warmth would rush into my ear and then begin to foam and tickle inside my ear canal. Then, when it was almost too much to take anymore, there was a cleansing sensation of relief when the liquid drained back out. She repeated the process many times while murmuring soothing words of comfort the entire time. I found the experience to be very "earotic."
damn well we fucked up. we got all high and my roomate didnt know what to do, we lit it straight up on fire and then an ash fell onto the ground and burnt the carpet. lol. we only did half of one because the room felt haunted and all like creepy voodoo. haha
Well, I'm glad to hear back from you, and I'm glad no one had to do the "drop-and-roll" maneuver!
