Sticking a Lit Candle in My Ear

Me smiling as my hair comes close to being set ablaze.

This is my SIL trusting me to take her picture, watch her son shove green beans up his nose, and make sure her face doesn't burn off, all at the same time. Man, she is trusting.

The Mr.'s family tried candling the other night at Sunday Night Dinner and my Sister-in-Law said how much clearer her ears felt after she did it. Since then we have been looking for the candles to try it without success until yesterday.

Yesterday, we went to the Wooster Natural Food store and found them for the cheap. So we went home and lit ourselves...I mean candles on fire.

Candling is an old home remedy to clean the ear wax out of your ears through suction. There are a lot of people against it says it doesn't work and can even be harmful.

I didn't have any problems and my ears do feel a bit clearer, but I don't know if that is just me telling myself that they are. I don't know if I will ever try it again, but it sure was interesting.

Has anyone ever tried candling? If so, would you recommend it?
