Ear Candles - Do you use/have used them or would you? Pin It

I am a big believer in trying a natural remedy before turning to over the counter stuff.

Such as the subject of Ear Candles.

Instead of Ear Wax Removal or going to a doctor to have them water blast it out (had to actually have that done once years an years ago but it hurt so bad), I tried the beeswax ear candles. They honestly do work.

This is what they look like: photo credit: Amazon

You stick this through a paper plate or a piece of cardboard and then have someone light the wide end at the top, the tapered pointy end goes in your ear. The heat heats your heat very very lightly and pulls the wax out by vacuum suction caused by the heat and the funnel shape of the ear candle.

I know some people claim they don't work but I know they do for me. My left ear has bugged me for weeks and the last time I was at the doctor she said I had a blob of wax over my eardrum that was causing the muffled sound. I used one of my candles to night and the muffled sound is gone. Peel the rest of the candle apart and saw bits and pieces along with a bigger piece of wax.
Now my ear feels fine. No more breathing in and my ear going muffled. YAY!

So have you tried ear candles?

You can buy them from Amazon or at your local health food stores

Natural Living: Alternatives to Disposable Feminine Products Pin It

This post is to inform others that there is an alternative to disposable items.

My question is... Did you know there are alternatives to pads or tampons or have you thought about trying an alternative?
There are items on the market as alternatives to those.

Such as...
The Keeper A (After giving birth)
The Keeper B (Pre-Birth - before giving birth)

Those are meant to be washed and reused.

And there is a disposable version: Instead Softcups 12 Hour Feminine Protection,14 Count

I know in olden days before pads where invented, women used rags -- usually strips of cotton -- hence the name "glad rags".

And if you search the internet, you'll find small women owned sites that sell cloth style pads and pantiliners that can be washed and reused.
