~Ear Candling~
People choose ear candling for a variety of reasons. The majority of people who use them have not only enjoyed the experience but have recommended it to a friend.
Ear candling takes about 30-45 minutes, it’s non-invasive and has a narcotic effect which is very relaxing. The ear candle is lit on the wide end and heat is not felt in the ear canal.
The negative charge of the herbal smoke and spiral shape of the candle work together to stimulate the respiratory system and cleanse. It’s a way of allowing the body to cleanse itself.
The gentle vacuum effect of fire causes debris to be drawn up the candle toward the flame.
Some of the Benefits of Ear Candling are:
Clears wax & debris from the ear canal
Relieves pressure from behind the eardrum
Sharpens mental functions, vision, hearing, taste & color perception
Eases earache, headache & sinus pressure, allergies
Relaxation from the negative charge of the herbal smoke
Acts as a catalyst to clear nerve endings & promote healing
It is also said that ear candles release blocked energy, release pressure points of tension, and overall just being a soothing relaxing therapy. Ear candle practitioners do not claim that they cure these conditions, only that it will help to bring balance and promote healing. There are some myths regarding what happens during the candling experience. One of these is that the smoke enters the ear canal and softens the wax which is then drawn back up through the candle. This is the most common description of how candling works due to the fact that some of the wax from the candle itself may make its way down the inside of the cylinder and when cut open afterward is likely to resemble a waxy yellow substance that resembles ear wax.
