Ear candling and crazy Monday mornings

In case I haven't mentioned this before every Monday morning on my day off the girls and I get together for coffee and a catch up at the house of one of our friends (Caz). Some of the topics we talk about can range from completely normal to totally off the wall but it's fun and a great way to connect.

This morning one of the girls, Bee came in with an ear candle she had bought locally and complaining of a blocked ear.

If you've never heard of ear candling never fear as I will explain...apparently the ear candles are made of beeswax and filled with various herbs. Sarah gently inserted the candle into the outer ear the top was lit and as it melts down the odour and warmth from inside is suppose to suck out the wax and any other offending things stuck down there.

Now I've never really believe in stuff like this but as the treatment went on the more unblocked Bee's ear became.  At the end she could hear normally again. I'll have to remember this treatment!

I've seen it advertised at my nail salon, of all places! I don't think I'd try it there, lol!
