EAR CANDLING

For thousands of years, a form of hygiene known as Ear Candling, was used as a way of naturally cleansing the inside of the ears and head. Ear Candling is a natural, non-intrusive procedure that may help alleviate the painful effects of chronic headaches or sinus conditions, ear infections, allergies or vertigo, as well as minor hearing loss due to excessive earwax build up.

During the procedure, one end of a cylinder or cone of waxed cloth is lit, and the other placed into the ear. The belief is that the flame creates negative pressure, drawing wax and debris out of the ear canal, which appears as a dark residue. Those who have undergone treatment often report improved hearing and clearer sinuses.

An ear candling session can last up to 45 minutes, during which time a series of 1 or 2 ear candles may be burned for each ear. The experience is generally described as being unusual, but pleasant and relaxing. Comments, such as, "You may hear some crackling and popping" and "you may feel some heat during the ear candling session" are made by people after a session.
