I seen it on a tv show.
Answer:
Ear Candle
I think your talking about ear candles. You can find them at most health food stores. If it is your first time candling, I would suggest using two for each ear so that you can get everything out. Have someone with you while you are doing it so that they can watch the candle so that it doesn't burn down to far. I would also suggest using a paper plate to be between you and the burning candle. Punch a hole in the middle of the paper place and place the narrow end of the candle through the hole. That way, if there is any debris that falls, it will land on the plate. Hope this helps.
This site has ear candles: http://www.vitaminproshop.comAlso, hydrogen peroxide in the ear is helpful. Tilt your head and put in a few drops. It will bubble away for quite a long time (depending on how much ear wax is there). Then tilt your head the other way and let it drip out.
Be careful with these. I have used them before and they have been successful but the key is to have someone to do it with. I have done it alone and caused damage to my inner ear, as some wax melted back down the candle and over my ear drum. It caused an echo type feeling in my ear and had to visit a doctor for the problem. They work great but use them cautiously!
