Hopi Ear Candles
If you’ve been blasting music on your headset 24/7, use this all-natural method to soothe ear discomfort. Used by the ancient Native Americans, a hollow beeswax candle is lit and placed in your ear, causing a sucking sensation which gently massages the eardrum. A piece of linen at the bottom of the candle prevents hot wax from entering your ear. A half-hour session costs $48.
