Ear Candling

“After one ear candling session my mother can hear me now, hard to believe”,one of my clients remarks.

The definition of ear candling is: a method that proponents say removes ear wax and “toxins” from a person’s ear. Also called ear coning. It involves placing a hollow candle in the ear canal and lighting it; in most cases, the rising hot air pulls out the toxins and wax.

Ear candling is a simple, effective method for removing ear wax build-up, fungus and impaction from within the ear canal. But first ask yourself do you have any of the following conditions:

• Headaches
• Ear injection
• TMJ Dysfunction
• Excessive wax
• Ringing in the ears
• Plugged ears
• Hearing challenges
• Inner ear pressure
• Migraines
• Chronic Sinusitis
• Imbalances
• Ear aches and pain

If you do, then you would definitely benefit from ear candling. Ear candling is a natural way to clean out accumulated wax, and white flaky fungus from the ears. The accumulations withdrawn from your ears may be many months or even several years old .

The candles are custom designed from natural fibers, hollow and tapered to precise specifications. Ear candling does not hurt and it is painless, harmless and totally relaxing experience. If it was not for the intermittent crackling and hissing sounds, due to the burning of the wax and fungus being drawn up the chimney of the candle, you would never know that anything was happening in your ear.

This is what you should expect during your session: It takes 2 candles that are hollow to create this miracle. Each ear takes 15 minutes, a total of 30 minutes and its surprising how much better you can hear. And the stuff that comes out of each ear is unbelievable, you’ve got to do it to see it for yourself.
The procedure is as follows:You lie on your side with your body in a straight alignment and try not to move around. Your therapist will use a special conical candle which has small tapered ends which she inserts into a protective fire proof plate, and the tip of the candle is placed at the opening of your ear canal, the candle is lit.the flame is stopped and the candle slowly begins to burn down. The ear candle, by its shape, designed length, draws ear wax and fungus deposits from deep inside your ear canal. As the ear candling session progresses, extracted ear wax and fungus will be burned off, but some of it will be collected in the bottom part of the candle. After the candle has been burnt down and then extinguished, the therapist will cut open the remaining candle and show you the former contents of your ear canal. Most people cannot believe what has been collected in their ears. You will certainly be amazed.

After your ear candling session, you may feel lightness in your head and the natural noise around you may seem to be much louder to you. This can be relieved by inserting cotton in each of your ears. You must not get water in your ears for 48-hours.

After your session with your therapist you will most likely notice improved hearing, because the wax blockage is no longer present. Each session will last about 30 minutes for both ears. It is recommended that you get your ears candled at least 2 to 3 times for a normal clean out, about a week to 10 days apart. However, some people may need up to 8 sessions over a six month period. Once your ears are clean, personal preference should determine how often you have your ears candled. Every one to two months would be practical.

Ear candling should not be done to people who have ear tubes, perforated ear drums or artificial ear drums or to children under 15 years old without a doctors consent. Make sure your therapist is qualified and that she uses beeswax candles for your treatment.
