Have yall ever heard of ear candles? I bought them from an organic food store in town-Manna Grocery. This sounds gross but you use them to clean deep inside you ears!
Here is an ear candle...
The pointed part of the candle goes into your ear (as you will see from my lovely model below).
And just light the other end of the candle. We put the candle through a paper plate just in case any of the burnt candle falls off.
And it always helps to have a little helper!
The candle will make popping noises inside your ear...that's how you know it's working!
And just burn the candle until it reaches the pre-printed line on the candle that tells you to stop. It takes about 5-10 minutes to burn down.
When it reaches that point, blow out the flame!
And then if you want to be realllly gross (like us!) cut the top of the candle off and dump the insides out into a sink filled with water to see what all came out of your ear! It's pretty interesting!
AND you don't even realize how clogged your ears are until you've done it! We try to do it about twice a year and it feels really good to have clean ears!

I was first introduced to ear candles a couple of years ago and thought they were so disgusting until......I tried them. They really do work and there really is nothing like a clean ear
Sorry to tell you this... That product is such a hoax. Put the end of the candle in a glass of water and see the same effect. Most are made with bees wax and that is what you see remaining in the candle. I work for an ear/nose/throat doctor... They can cause a lot of damage to the ear drum.
i had this done at a salon once and liked it! i had no idea they sold them at stores!!
brad is a trooper for being your model. :)
