http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelate...s/candling.html
QUOTE
A 1996 survey of 144 ear, nose, and throat physicians, found that 14 had seen patients who had been harmed by ear candling, including at least 13 cases of external burns, 7 cases of ear canal obstruction with candle wax, and 1 perforated eardrum [3].

hmmm...now i'm even considering the old skool techniques....some oldtime ah-pek the barber can also do the earhole-cleaning....but they use the more "rough" method...it's cheaper by the way...

so dunno which one to choose lah...

Well I was told by an ENT (ear, nose & throat) specialist that ear candling is proven to cause more damage than good. He said the best way to clean our ears are using those tool that are specially created to clean our ears (dry ears) and for those with wet ears, its best to clean it with cotton buds after every bath for hygiene purpose and also minimize ear infections. tongue.gif

last time i saw on TV, doctors use warm water and slowly inject using a syringe and let the water soften the wax and flow out into the container..
they said you should not put any object smaller than your elbow into your ear.. but i still use a cotton bud.. kekeke

The equipment they insert into the water actually accelerates the production of rust from the metal in the gadget. They add salt water into the water , the more salt the darker the rust colour.

Those who sit in the shopping complex with their feet in the tub of water really made to look like fools without knowing it. They are convinced toxins really come out from their body through their feet, not knowing it's just rust generated from the equipment and salt water.

ya its the electrolysis stuff tat we learned in science last time. s
ame thing i always see a bunch of naive girls working for such shops, dressed up like somekind of doctor (white suit etc).

And the mastermind (i guess is the taukeh) always standing there asking people if they wan to do those so-called "toxin wash". He is also responsible for several similarly lousy kind of services/sales..
