Ear candling, the next phase.
35 Answers
Having read elsewhere that Tinkerbelle has successfully had her ears candled and having found out what it entails my first thought was 'you couldn't make it up'. But we can make it up, so come on folks suggestions for the next alternative therapy cult/rage/fashion. Nothing plausible please, out of respect to new age 'thinking'.

Naomi, yes I did have it done. I can't quite remember why - I think I just wondered what it was and wanted to try it.
Afterwards I read about how silly it was - but I still maintain I got value for money, because as I said, it was a very relaxing and pleasurable experience.
I don't want to wax lyrical about it or anything though.

In trying to think up some new outlandish alternative therapy that would appeal to the butterfly brains amongst us I came up with flower therapy but was dismayed to find that I am 80 years too late. But what about butterfly therapy? I leave it to your imagination exactly how it would be done but it should involve butterflies being placed on your body by and 'attendant' of appropriate gender.
////Although Biosun, a manufacturer of ear candles, refers to them as "Hopi" ear candles, there is no such treatment within traditional Hopi healing practices. Vanessa Charles, public relations officer for the Hopi Tribal Council, has stated that ear candling "is not and has never been a practice conducted by the Hopi tribe or the Hopi people."The Hopi tribe has repeatedly asked Biosun, the manufacturer of 'Hopi Ear Candles' to stop using the Hopi name. Biosun has not complied with this request and continues to claim that ear candles originated within the Hopi tribe.////
Someone jokingly mentioned leeches-but they have many uses in modern medicine...
"FDA reports that leeches can help heal skin grafts by removing blood pooled under the graft and restore blood circulation in blocked veins by removing pooled blood.
Indeed the use of leeches to draw blood goes back thousands of years. They were widely used as an alternative treatment to bloodletting and amputation for several thousand years. Leeches reached their height of medicinal use in the mid-1800s.
FDA noted that today they are used in medicine throughout the world as tools in skin grafts and reattachment surgery."
