Tinnitus and Hopi Ear Candling
I've recently heard that Hopi Ear Candling has been known to help tinnitus. I've suffered with this following spinal surgery and a CSF for 2 years now. During the day at work it's not too bad, but at night when life has quietened down, it drives me nuts! I know there's no cure, but would be interested in any views..
Answer:Hopi ear candles MIGHT work for you - as they work for SOME people. It's horses for courses with things like tinnitus. I've treated people with tinnitus with homoeopathy and / or ear candles with success in some cases. There are lots of natural therapies that might help - it's finding the one for you that will. If nothing else, ear candling is massively relaxing. Contrary to some unreferenced "evidence" pulled by couple of respondees here, I've seen huge plugs of wax removed from peoples ears with candles including a sausage shaped piece about 3/4" long from my daughters ear when she was 3 years old. Explained the ear-ache she had! It never caused her a problem since & if her ears get a bit waxy, I do a treatment, the wax is removed (and there's a big difference between removed wax & candle residue) and all is well. In many years of using this treatment, I've never burned anyone. It's completely safe if you are trained in the practice, use the only candles that insurance firms will support, and you are sensible!
I suffer too. Best is reading or watching/listening to tele.
Actually, there is a treatment that will remedy tinnitus. I don't believe that it's posted on their web site, but if you call them they will be able to tell you what it is. They do have 2 treatments for the ear. One is for Ear drainage, and the other is for hearing loss. I believe that the treatment they use for Tinnitus is a combination of both of these treatments.
