This is very interesting. Did anyone try this? Its only like 10 mins a day for 7 days!

I'm tempted to give it a shot if my fissure doesn't heal up within the next few weks

I'm also tempted to try it, but still so sore....it's scary to touch! Tell me if you disagree, but the way I read this is that you just put a finger in and let it sit there for 10 minutes? I would love to hear any tips on making this work as described.

My understanding is it’s as you described for the first two days and then the subsequent 5 days you do a circling motion with your finger inside.
