POP singer turned actress Jessica Simpson has posted a video of herself holding a burning candle in her ear.<br /><br />Simpson screams and laughs as she holds the burning candle.<br /><br />She was trying for the first time an unconventional alternative medicine practice given to her by best friend, celebrity hair stylist Ken Paves, who documented the humorous experience.<br /><br />"Who gives this kind of candle for a Christmas gift?" Simpson tweeted.<br /><br />In the clip, Simpson is sitting with her head placed on a table and holds onto a lit candle, outfitted with a makeshift wax catcher made from a pizza box, that has been placed in her ear.<br /><br />Ear candling has been said to help improve a person's general health by lighting one end of a special hollow candle and placing the other end in the ear canal.<br /><br />Despite claims the practice is ineffective, those who use the candles believe it can absorb excess wax and remove impurities and other toxins from the ear.
