| Ear Candling |
Ear candling, also called ear coning, is a folk medicine practice intended to
remove earwax (cerumen) and "toxins" from a person's ear by means of a hollow
candle placed in the ear. It involves placing one end of a hollow candle in the ear
canal and lighting it. Ear candling creates a vacuum and removes impurities from
the ear.
Ear candling is used primarily for cleaning the ears and to promote a healthy
atmosphere in the ears, sinus cavities and throat. There are, however, several
other benefits. The process can regulate pressure, assist with post nasal drip,
sinusitis, catarrh, migraines, some forms of hearing loss, and restoration of
equilibrium.
Manufacturers of ear candles often refer to them as Hopi ear candles, referring to
the Hopi Native American nation. This technique was also used by the ancient
Atlanteans, Egyptians, Mayans and Tibetans to cleanse the spiritual and physical
body.
Procedure -- One end of a cylinder or cone of waxed cloth is placed into the
subject's ear, and the other end lighted. Usually the subject is lying on one side
with the treated ear uppermost and the candle vertical, perhaps stuck through a
paper plate or aluminum pie tin to protect against any ash falling down the side.
A typical ear candling session can last up to 45 minutes, during which time a
series of 1 or 2 ear candles may be burned for each ear. The experience is
generally described as being unusual, but pleasant and relaxing. One may hear
some crackling and popping, or feel some heat during the ear candling session.
Warnings -- Ear candling should not be done to people who have ear tubes,
perforated ear drums, or artificial ear drums. Ear candlers will use an otoscope to
examine their client's ears before and after the session.
Benefits -- The hot air is claimed to melt earwax and create a vacuum that pulls
out toxins from the inner ear and the sinuses. At the end of the treatment the
subject can be shown the melted wax inside the candle, which are presented as
wax and even fungus drawn out of the ear. Smoke circulating in the ear is
sometimes also claimed to have physically beneficial or even mind-clearing
effects. Clients claim significant improvements in their hearing, inner ear pain relief
and a reduction in tinnitus symptoms after several ear candling sessions.
Ear Candling is great for: Excess ear wax - headaches - sinus congestion -
allergies - ear infections - vertigo - dizziness - hearing loss - ringing in the ears -
tinitus - removing candita and more...
Ear Candling Sessions take approx. 45 minutes and are $50.00
