Ear Candling
“Ear Candling,” also known as auricular candling or coning, refers to various procedures that involve placing a cone-shaped device in the ear canal and supposedly extracting earwax and other impurities with the help of smoke or a burning wick.
This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard… Evidentally people do this to other people, or themselves… you be the judge:
