EAR CANDLING

by NICOLE CARTER
(Ear Candling Practitioner)

Ear Candling is a natural ear cleaning technique which began centuries ago. It has been passed down for many generations by North American Indians - the Hopi tribe. There are also records of its use in Ancient Chinese, Tibetan and Egyptian cultures. These societies used ear candling in healing and promoting spiritual purification. In Ancient times, hollow reeds or corn stalks were used and a Shaman or medicine man often performed the process.

Ear candling is a non invasive natural procedure. This gentle method assists in removing excess ear wax, fluids and residual toxins from past infections. It may greatly improve the following conditions:

Sinusitis

Blocked or irritated ears

Some chronic headaches

Tinnitus - ringing in the ears

Hearing problems

Vertigo

Such effects are possible because all the passages in the head are interconnected. The candling process allows drainage to occur asmotically through the membrane in the ear. It draws from the ear, sinuses and the lymph glands. Many people report that their breathing, their sense of smell or taste also improves after treatment.

An ear candle is a long hollow tube generally made of unbleached fabric impregnated with beeswax, paraffin wax, and essential oils. The candle is lit at one end and the other end usually via a funnel is placed in the ear. The heat of the smoke softens the wax in the ear and the vacuum created draws the old wax, fluid and toxins out of the ear and into the candle. When the candle is burnt down to a quarter of its original length, the flame is extinguished. The candle can then be cut to examine what has been drawn out of the ear. The results can be truly amazing.
