[QUOTE="Star*, post: 194547, member: 4964"] Well I don't ever want to sound like the dark cloud - BUT .......... I have a very "holistic" friend who does this due to constant sinus infections. She used to swear by it. So I asked our doctor. My doctor said you are better off NEVER sticking ANYTHING into your ear canal. DF gets bad earaches....really bad and lots of wax. We were going to try this and the doctor told him that there IS a chance that you can get burned. He recommened OTC hollistic ear wax remover or Debrox and a syringe. We did that and also went in to the doctor for them to remove the wax. THERE WAS A TON...and candeling would not have removed it. So it's a personal choice - now for earaches we use a drop or two of sweet oil. WHen he does go under water we IMMEDIATELY put alcohol in the ears to dry up the water. Jo seems to have success with doing it (see above), but for $40.....I'd rather pay the copay and have a doctor remove the wax or spend $15 and get Debrox. I don't play with eyes and ears. [/QUOTE]
