How do I look guys? How do I look?
I'm not even sure what they have next
They have a special surprise prepared for me
I don't really know what it is but...
Are you going to throw out the earwax you extracted from me last time?
Can I take it home?
I want to take it back as a souvenir
Ear candling has some massage aspects
We're going to remove toxins from your lymph nodes
And then we're gonna burn these candles in your ears
Oh boy, ok
So what's the purpose of that? Just because it feels good?
Removing toxins and removing body dampness * Chinese medicinal concept
I'm going to need some of that
This is essential oil
First we need to unclog the lymph nodes behind your ear
Okay
Yep
This...might hurt a bit
When I release my finger, the smoke will come out
Here, check this out
(At this moment, the microphone on my camera literally catches on fire. Nobody notices, yet.)
(You can hear the fire roaring on the microphone here.)
Oh my god
Sorry
What happened?
Your dead cat caught on fire
(This is what happened to the dead cat microphone cover!)
Anyway, that smoke just now
It's mugwort smoke
It's used to remove the dampness from your body
Like moxibustion, right? * Chinese
The mugwort smoking is done
Done?
Now for the burning
This is terrifying
Oh my god, I'm going to get burned
That smells so nice though!
Yes, that's the mugwort
Mugwort...
So this is basically moxibustion, right?
Yes
It's similar
Smells nice
Just don't move, otherwise it won't be good for you
Ok
Ok I'll keep still then
Are you scared?
Yeah, it's a little scary
I have to admit
It won't burn you
It's warm?
Yeah, very warm
That's a good thumbnail
Oh my god
Is it dropping on you?
No, nothing is dropping on me
Feels great
So again, the point of this is to...
Remove the dampness in the body…?
Mugwort is good at removing dampness
And is the mugwort supposed to fall on me, or...?
No
It's just the smoke that goes on into your ear
And then takes out all the dampness
Because I just massaged your lymph nodes
And there's a lot of damp buildup there
And the mugwort smoke can remove the dampness
By removing the sources of the dampness and coldness
Traditionally in Chinese medicine, coldness and dampness are the enemy
Other side now...
I do love a good massage
We love this kind of stuff when we are back in China
Oh jeez, here we go again...
Yep!
Don’t burn the camera again!
Last time I saved your ass
Chinese fairy smoke (this term is hard to translate)
...what?
This is so scary
Oh my god
It's very far from you
It feels so close, it feels like it's right next to me
So after you remove the dampness...
Will that make me healthier, or...?
Yes
Or...more auspicious?
Definitely healthier
Okay
You know how you Americans love drinking cold water, right?
There's a lot of dampness in cold water
We were just talking about that outside actually
Hot water, for your enjoyment
You don't drink cold water in china
It's very not good for you
That feels really good
Oh yeah
Finished!
I guess we're done
Yes
Thank you so much that was amazing
That was so much fun. Wow...
You guys should all come here because this place is great
Chinese people and American people can both come here?
Yes, but you have to make an appointment first!
Make an appointment, you heard it
