New Age Treatments Target Age-Old Ailments
Aline Mendelsohn, Orlando Sentinel (USA), 2/17/06
If falling asleep on the couch watching the Olympics is the extent of your relaxation and wellness regimen, perhaps you need some help. At the International New Age Trade Show East, held this month at the Orange County Convention Center, several products were featured that offer users the chance to march to a radically different drummer, including:
Ear candles -- These are candles made of muslin, food-grade wax and unprocessed beeswax that you light and place inside your ear for 10 to 15 minutes. The candle irrigates the ear canal and can also help with ear infections and pink eye, says Kevin Bolton of Harmony Cone, the company that makes the candles. Details: harmonycone.com. . .
I would be under the impression that a candle burning next to or on one's head would increase the risk of being burned by wax or the fire itself. By the way, I have my own beekeeping blog focused more on my beekeeping experiences and not so much on the medicinal side of bees. You may want to check it out.
