Have you ever put Hydrogen Peroxide in your ear?

[gotmilk]

it's safer to wet the end of a Qtip.

The Peroxide will dry out the lining of the ear

I always heard that the "wax" stuff that is supposingly sucked out by the "wind funnel" from the burning is nothing more than part of the candle itself.

yep

 

[gotmilk]

pouring peroxide will remove the wax, but the drying out of your ear lining will release new fluid that dried into new wax

Therapeutic use

Hydrogen peroxide has been used as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial agent for many years. While its use has decreased in recent years with the popularity of better-smelling and more readily-available over the counter products, it is still used by many hospitals, doctors and dentists in sterilising, cleaning and treating everything from floors to root canal procedures.

Recently, alternative medical practitioners have advocated administering doses of hydrogen peroxide intravenously in extremely low (less than one percent) concentrations for hydrogen peroxide therapy — a controversial alternative medical treatment for cancer. However, according to the American Cancer Society, "there is no scientific evidence that hydrogen peroxide is a safe, effective or useful cancer treatment." They advise cancer patients to "remain in the care of qualified doctors who use proven methods of treatment and approved clinical trials of promising new treatments." [5] Internal use of hydrogen peroxide has a history of causing fatal blood disorders, and its recent use as a therapeutic treatment has been linked to several deaths.[6],[7]

Hydrogen peroxide is Generally Recognised As Safe (GRAS) as an antimicrobial agent, an oxidizing agent and more by the US Food and Drug Administration.[8] Hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a toothpaste when mixed with correct quantities of baking soda and salt.[9] Like benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide is also sometimes used in the treatment of acne.

Hydrogen peroxide is also seen in some alternative medicine treatments. Joseph Mercola recommends pouring small amounts into the ear canal as a method of treating colds.

Hydrogen peroxide is also used as an emetic in veterinary practice.[10]
