I had a small piece of hair from getting my hair cut that found its way onto my eardrum.  It was driving me nuts with a constant tickly feeling.  The doc I worked for looked in there, confirmed what it was, and had the MA wash it out.  It hurt like hell because she kept sweeping the pulsing water across my eardrum.  It did finally get washed out.

I wish my mom had known bout garlic when I was younger... I was too old for tubes but kept getting horrendous ear aches in the middle of the night... it would have saved us both (and the doctor we'd call) a lot of sleep!

Yes...  The more you read about the woman, the less reliable a source of information she becomes.  Of course a holistic therapist is going to peddle a holistic therapy.

why were you told you were too old for tubes??

my ex-wife-in-law's daughter just had hers replaced (at age 17) and my mama had her first set put in when she was about 50.

Status: offline 		My girlfriend uses earcandles. One thing is for sure, for her it is relaxation. I'm allowed to hold the candles upright and clip off the burned candle before it could fall into her hair or on her face. For me it is an act of devotion and training to sit still perfectly as long as the candles burn. But I can't tell if the candles are for real or just a scam. I think it is fun.
