Description

Friends, the traditional way to clean and remove wax from ears is by the use of herbal medicine which they prepare themself by collecting a couple of herbs from forests and that is their patent.
The medicine softens or melt the wax in ear and is cleaned easily. They do not sell that medicine, insted wander here and there to find customer and clean wax for a small amount, whereas a specialist charges Rs 200/- almost 5$ to do that job.
I suggested Deepak to sell the Herbal medicine with little publicity of the product & do it yourself method, instead.

Rakesh, you mean to say he does the Ear candling? I must agree with Paul. Sometimes the traditional methods are more reliable and soothing. #3667426
