Ear Candling

Ear candling (also known as ear coning) is a good example of how an almost forgotten, simple and all natural therapy, is now being used effectively to solve many problems associated with the ear and sinuses.

When the body is under stress the flow of energy diminishes until it is totally blocked. You may not be aware of this initially, but eventually symptoms will appear in the body. When this energy becomes blocked in the head area, or when excessive ear wax builds up, you may develop conditions such as stuffed sinuses or sinusitis headaches, earaches, vertigo (dizziness), minor hearing loss, sore throat or coughing, allergies or upper respiratory infections. If they are not cleared, the flow of energy slows down and pain or discomfort usually sets in.

The removal of ear wax is only a minor part of candling. Ear wax is essential to our well-being. It acts as a shock absorber for sound waves, and along with the hair in our ears, it stops dust particles and foreign material that might pierce the ear drum. It is when we have wax build up caused by noise, pollution, dust, etc.; however, that is when problems can arise.

The process that allows the ear candles to work in the base of an ear candle is gently inserted a fraction of an inch into the outer ear canal then the tip of the ear candle is lit. The process is not painful; in fact some people find the process so relaxing that they tend to fall asleep during the candling process.
