What is Ear Candling?

Although ear candling is not a new procedure, but a classical method, It has been frequently modified over the years as a healing art and material and methods vary. The candling is actually done with cones that burn like a candle. The candles used in this clinic are very special, being made of strips of 100%cotton dipped in paraffin beeswax, essences and special herbs to assist in cleansing the ear, and are therefore more beneficial.

If the candle is made correctly, there will not be anything in it except what is coming up into the cone from the ear. Ear candling has been successfully on children who have had ear problems.

Benefits of Candling

The ear canal is surrounded by numerous hairs and ceremonious glands which are specialized glands that secrete a thick waxy material commonly known as "ear wax". Wax is natural and necessary but an excess of it causes many problems. The primary reason for ear candling is the removal of the excess ear wax which builds up. Other benefits include clearing the sinuses, reducing hearing problems such as: ringing in the ears, snoring, tightness in the neck, and infection; reliving pressure, headache and sinusitis; mucus drainage, and glandular and lymphatic release.

The exciting thing about ear candling is that it may go beyond mere clearing of debris on sensitive nerve endings. By contributing to better hearing and clearer vision one may experience clarity of thinking and improved well being. It can sharpen the ear canal while facilitating nose and throat discharges that may open the upper chakras for self healing by increasing sensitivities in the area of auricle and psychic perception.

Ear candling is not a new procedure, it is a method which has been frequently modified over the years as a healing art. The materials and methods may vary greatly. The procedure is done with cones that burn like a candle. The candles used at the Pacific Alternative Medical Clinic are made from strips of 100% cotton dipped in paraffin beeswax. Essences and special herbs are added to assist in cleansing the ear and creating a more beneficial affect. If the candle is made correctly there will not be anything in it except what is coming up into the cone from the ear.

Affects of candling may include; clearing the sinuses, reducing hearing problems, ringing in the ears, snoring, tightness in the neck, infection, headaches, sinusitis, mucus drainage, glandular and lymphatic release. Candling has been used successfully on children who have ear problems.

Procedure

Shiatsu, a gentle and relaxing massage technique is applied to the neck around the ear and facial areas. This is to induce a relaxation that will make the experience more enjoyable and increase the release of wax. The narrow end of the candle is then gently inserted and positioned less than one centimeter into the ear. The gentle burning of the candle is a flow of warm smoke which creates a seal and a slow vacuum. During the process you will hear crackling or wave like sounds. This is normal as it is caused by the motion of the air in the candle that are magnified onto the ear drum. Heavy wax from the ear comes up in fluids that migrate to an area of low pressure throughout the permeable membrane. If the ear wax is impacted and has been an untreated long term problem more than one candling session may be necessary.
