Ear Candling is a safe, non-intrusive procedure of releasing excessive ear wax.  This natural technique (natural ear wax removal) has been practiced for centuries, dating back to biblical times.

Today, more and more people are looking for alternatives to hydrogen peroxide ear flushing or instruments used to pick at the inner ear to clear blockages in the ear canal.

Ear candles are soothing, helpful and excellent in the treatment of: 

• Balancing Ear Pressure
• Ear aches
• Ear wax removal
• Head colds
• Headaches
• Ringing ear
• Sinus infections

The effect after treatment is a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head regions.

Clearer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell (even when the nose was blocked before treatment) are often experienced, as well as a wonderful relaxed feeling, a deep sense of security and a feeling of happiness are often experienced.

 The basic premise in ear candling is the spiral of the cone causes the smoke to be pulled down in to the ear canal. This causes the ear canal to warm up and loosen the wax and any other material. As it heats it up, the candle causes a suction by creating a vacuum in the ear canal. Air is drawn up from the Eustachian tube into the middle ear then through the porous membrane out into the outer ear. The heat and the vacuum draw out the wax and other materials from the ear canal into the base of the candle. As it burns down you will hear a lot of cracking and hissing which is the process of removing the wax etc. The warmth feels soothing and relaxing during the process. Ear Oil placed in the ear after candling with cotton to cover will protect from further infections from bacteria, yeast's etc.

The healing properties of the Ear Candle has its foundation in two primary physical actions. Firstly, the slight under pressure (the chimney effect) inside the Ear Candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion in the frontal and paranasal sinuses. This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating and balancing ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear and head area. Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system and reinforces the flow of lymph. At the same time, important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.
