Candeling

I have my ears candled regularly to relieve sinus pressure.  When the candles used on me are cut open, there's more than just powder in them.  A lot of nasty stuff comes out.  Not only do I notice a difference in the days afterward (head feels "lighter"), but I also don't get sinus infections anymore as long as I get candled once every few months.

Discovering this technique has saved me countless trips to the doctor's office and treatments with antibiotics.
