Ear Candling is used primarily for cleaning and promoting a healthy atmosphere in the ears, as a safe and simple remedy for relieving pressure, easing sinus congestion, fighting infection and gently removing toxins and excess wax from inside the ears.
When the end of the candle is placed in the opening of the ear canal, sealed, and the top lit, a vacuum is created in the auditory canal.
First the warm dry smoke with vaporised beeswax and herbal essences infuse their natural infection fighting properties into the inner ear, sinuses and lymph drainage system.
The warmth of the candle loosens the wax build up in the ear and it falls away. Because it cannot fall into a void, it is pulled up toward the flame via the candle itself.
The gentle drawing action of the vacuum effect works deep into the sinus cavities around the eyes and nose and the Eustachian tubes to the throat, painlessly breaking down blockages and allowing any fluid or mucus to flow naturally away.
Clients sometimes feel tickling or popping movement in these areas during the treatment. The warmth of the candle dries the eardrum giving relief from the discomfort caused by tropical/swimmers ear and other humidity aggravated problems.
Ear Candling was an ancient remedy used by the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and the Hopi Indians of North America and is now widely used in many countries throughout the modern world.
The Indians of North America have long understood the problems associated with this build-up in the ears and developed a soft wax tube that they inserted in each ear in turn. A heat vacuum is created, drawing material from the ear up into the candle, where it is then evaporated in the flame.
