You had me at massage.

Today's first submission was a fun one to research. The internet has a LOT to say about these topics. I am not really into bashing anyone's path to health. Listen, if you're doing a thing that makes you feel better, then you should probably keep doing it, unless, y'know, it's actually REALLY bad for you.

But bad spelling can be harmful, too:

So, yeah. It's ear candling, without the E. And the internet is Not Pleased with it at all. It goes so far as to say it's actually dangerous, on some websites. I also had to google iridology, which I've never heard of. This, it turns out, uses the patterns and characteristics of your iris to tell you what's going on inside of you. I feel like, unless you're one of the aliens on V, your irises don't have a lot to say about your innards. But what do I know? Besides that candling is spelled wrong. Oh, and that I wouldn't want any kind of counseling from people who can't spell candling. But y'know. Besides that.
