Ear Syringing! Anyone had it done? Does it hurt? 
Is it worth it? 
Any side effects? 
Can you hear a butterfly fart from a 1000 yards? 
Please tell

oh, yes - it feels REEEEALLY good, actually. and when you're all rinsed out, it feels like they dug a tunnel through your head...but in a nice way.
and yeah, some of the stuff that falls out of the ol' ears can be pretty astonishing.  | |

A Brief History of Ear Candling
by Cheryl Ashby, C.C.T. Ear Candling is not a new alternative therapy. Dating back to the year 2500 B.C. there is evidence showing that people used and were familiar with the practice of ear candling. Ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, made reference to its use. Parchment scrolls discovered in the Orient, also have described the procedure for ear candling. This ancient therapeutic art may have been developed with the domestication of the honeybee. Beeswax was -- and still is -- a key component to making the hollow cylinders used in the procedure. The principal cloth used by ancient Egyptians was linen made from flax (the fibers of an annual blue-flowered plant). Today, as in times past . . . high-quality, ear candles are handmade from beeswax and unbleached cotton cloths. These specially fabricated candles are typically nine (9) to twelve (12) inches long and will burn for approximately ten minutes. Through a process called "convection". . . softer waxes and toxins will be drawn out of the ear, oxidized and turned into vapors during the procedure. This simple and time-proven therapy can be very effective in removing old and troublesome blockages from the ear canal, without the use of solutions or probes. Many people are rediscovering the value of Ear Candling to cleanse the ear canal and sinus passages. Ear Candling is a good example of how an almost forgotten simple and natural therapy, is now being used effectively to solve many problems associated with the ear. | |

What To Expect During and
After An Ear Candling Session by Cheryl Ashby, C.C.T. What To Expect During An Ear Candling Session . . . During an Ear Candling session you lie on your side with your body in a straight alignment. A special conical candle is inserted into a protective plate . . . The candle is lit and slowly begins to burn. The small tapered end of the candle is gently placed into your ear canal. The ear candle -- by its shape, design and length -- draws ear wax and fungus deposits from deep inside your ear canal. As the ear candling session progresses, extracted ear wax and fungus will be burned off, but a majority will be collected in the bottom part of the candle. After the candle has burned down and been extinguished, the therapist will cut open the remnant and show you the former contents of your ear canal. Most people cannot believe what has been collected there! Expect to be amazed! I've never had an ear candling before . . . isn't it painful? No, there is no pain whatsoever. You will only feel the candle being carefully inserted in your ear. You may also hear some crackling and popping, as the ear wax is being pulled from within your ear. All you have to do is just relax and enjoy your ear candling session time . . . If you have excessive hearing loss, you may feel some heat during the ear candling session since your feeling (tactile) senses are keener than a person with relatively better hearing. If you are one of these people . . . and you experience some discomfort -- you may request that the therapist stop the procedure briefly -- after a short intermission, you can continue with your session. What Happens After An Ear Candling Session . . . For a short time after your ear candling session . . . you may feel a lightness in your head and noises may seem to be much louder to you. This can be relieved by putting a little ear oil on some cotton and inserting this in each of your ears. You will most likely notice improved hearing, because the wax blockage is no longer present in your ears . . . For a day or two after your ear candling session you may feel a warmth, or some itching in your ears. This is very easy to resolve. . . You can relieve the itching by simply putting a drop or two of Hydrogen Peroxide in your ears and then gently wipe them out with a cotton swab. Or if you prefer, use the same procedure, but with Echinacea liquid instead of the Hydrogen Peroxide. You may also notice your sinuses are draining, or that sinus drainage increases after your ear candling session. This is beneficial and will relieve the pressure in your sinus areas. If you have had occurrences of sinus headaches, you should experience a decrease in their frequency. Also you may experience a heightened sense of taste, smell and sight. Conditions that may benefit from Ear Candling: • Headaches • Ringing in the Ears • Migraines • Ear Infections • Plugged Ears • Chronic Sinusitis • TMJ Dysfunction • Hearing Challenges • Imbalance • Excessive Wax • Inner Ear Pressure • Ear Aches & Pain You can have future ear candling sessions whenever you feel the time is right . . . Just use your own good judgment. As a suggestion, consider this . . . Most dentists recommend an oral exam and cleaning every 6 months to maintain good oral hygiene. Aren't your ears just as important as your teeth? An ear candling session every 6 months would certainly be practical and beneficial. Ear candling is simply an Old Home Remedy . . . It is NOT a cure for any disease, illness or ailment! We believe Ear Candling can have many positive health benefits for you. But, you must be the ultimate judge in determining if this time-honored practice, will be beneficial to you. | |

I've had it done a couple of times. They fill a large syringe with warmish water and have you hold a little tray under your ear to catch the water and gunk as it comes out. They inject the water into your ear with the syringe, and somehow at the same time wax, etc. is pulled out. It doesn't hurt at all, but the sensation is weird--your ears, nose and throat are all connected, so it's like you feel as if you've got water in your head running around in there.....ya kinda go 
You've GOT to look when it's done to see what came out. That's the most satisfying part. And your hearing will be much better, if you were clogged up.  | |

I've done this too, when I was fitted for earplugs. It is quite amazing, actually. It cleans you out. It's about time to do it again, now that I think about it. a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

I've had it done, wasn't pleasant but not so bad either. Now I am thinking of asking if I can use this on my girlfriend just to see her reaction.  "Did u love somebody

I've got a bad sinus and ear infection right now and I think I'll stick with antibiotics and antihistamines for now...if they don't work then maybe I would consider it. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss
