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.
