:: Ear Candling

Ear candling is an ancient therapy used by the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and the Hopi Indians of North America and is now widely used in many countries throughout the world.

It is used as a clearing therapy to remove the excessive ear wax and toxins naturally from a person's ear by means of a hollow candle placed in the ear. It involves lighting one end, and placing the other end of the candle onto the edge of the ear. The flame creates a relative vacuum in the ear which draws out poisons, old wax, residues of past infection and fungus. It will also pull out fluid, right through the membrane of the inner ear.

Locally administered heat also stimulates the peripheral blood circulation, thus intensifying the immunological defence system, in addition to strengthening the cleansing circulation of the lymph glands. Stimulation also occurs to the energy points and reflex zones.

What are the benefits of Ear Candling?

For clearing the ear canal and harmonizing ear pressure, one treatment at the start of each season of the year is suggested.

Ear candling should not be performed on anyone who has ear tubes, perforated ear drums, artificial ear drums or who already has an ear infection or suspected ear infection.
