Ever used ear candles?

I'd never heard of them till a lady in Jamaica showed them to me. Boy do they clean out your ears or at least it feels like it

I've seen them, but never tried them -- something about sticking a lit candle in my ear just never really appealed to me.

It's also called coning and has been around for ages. I figure I'll try it right after I get around to trying that new Do-It-Yourself Home Trepanation kit.

Yes I looked up it's similar to coning but in coning they used a clay or horn cone.
All I've seen is ear candles. They work well, the menthol ones made with hemp wax are kind of interesting
