Ear candeling is a popular "thing" in the natural path and asian salons.
It isn't dripping wax, but a hollowed candle (rolled sheet of wax really) that is lite and, as it burns it draws out the stuff in the ear canal. You'd be amazed at how much stuff gets packed in the ear!
It sounds wierd as you hear the flame burning but it is really painless and not really a day-night change.
Homoepathic practicioners I've spoken to say it is no real benefit. I do try to get one every 6 months as I prefer to think it serves value. And as I travel in airplanes frequently, it is helpful.
I've had it performed by Rain, in a salon and at home,but never in a box, with a fox, All work the same green eggs and ham.
