Ear candling is a natural and painless way to clean out accumulated wax and flaky fungus from the ears. The accumulation in your ears may be from many months or even years of build up.
Conditions that Ear Candling may help with are: headaches, ear infections, TMJ dysfunction, excessive wax, ringing in the ears, plugged ears, hearing challenges, inner ear pressure, migraines, chronic sinusitis, imbalance, and ear aches and pains.
How is Ear Candling done?
And ear candle is sometimes called an ear cone. It is a long hollow tube tapered to a hand-finished tip that fits comfortably into the outer ear canal.
The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke spirals down through the ear canal. The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris and softens old ear wax.
Ear candling creates a low-level vacuum that draws ear wax out of the ear and into the hollow candle. After the procedure, a dark, waxy substance is usually left in the stub of the candle. The dark waxy mass is a combination of ear wax and foreign debris. The external ear canal is not continuous with the middle ear, sinuses, Eustachian tube, and nasal passages when the ear drum (tympanic membrane) is normal and intact. Smoke from the burning candle dries out the ear canal and stimulates the body’s natural excretion of wax and dead cells, pollen, mold, parasites, and other debris.
The majority of it will be collected in the bottom part of the candle.
After the candle has burned down and has been extinguished, the therapist will open the remnant and show you any remaining unburned contents of your ear canal. Most people are amazed on what has come out of their ear.
It is very relaxing and client feels calm after a treatment. The treatment is approximately 45 minutes long.
