I had it done about a month ago and plan on doing it again. It helped clear out my ears - I have a lot of sinus issues - especially this time of the year - my ears felt more open and I did notice a difference.
I didn't have a lot of ear wax - but more yeast than the lady had every seen. I just found out an old friend of mine does it and said if I bought the candles she'd help do it for me.
It's cheaper too if you get the candles yourself at a health food store and do it yourself.
I think it does help open up the ears more.
Off the subject some but if you have sinus problems, get a neti pot and use it. That would be the best thing.
thanks everyone. i do use a neti pot, just not as much as I should. it just always feels like my ears are "stuffy" or clogged. is it easy to do at home?
My friend/massage therapist did it for me at the end of spring. There was so much pollen in there it was pretty gross. Definately felt better. A lot of people say its bogus, but i am into anything alternative and believe it works.

There was a definite noticeable difference after I had it done - so I believe. It is not something you should do too often. I do it about monthly. Having some wax in your ear is good.
Do sinus rinses too.
Regarding your ears and sinuses - do you have GERD?? My ears often feel clogged or full - a lot. When I discuss it with the dr he says they look fine. The dr said it could be from the acid reflux - it can go clear up into your throat and irritate your sinuses and the eustachian tube.
I agree with Songinthewind and Kansaschick about the nettipot/sinus rinse.
I also use high grade Oil of Oregano...nasty stuff but effective with all kinds of anti-fungul, anti-inflamatory, anti-bacterial stuff.
