Ear Candling

What is Ear Candling?

Ear Candling (also known as Ear Coning) is a gentle, all-natural technique for cleansing wax, bacteria and foreign matter from deep within the ear canal.

The procedure dates back to ancient Egypt, Tibet, China, and Native American’s thousands of years ago, it has been used safely for millennia on people of all ages.

The Anatomy

The ear contains approximately four thousand pores, along with several thousand nerve endings. As Asian ear charts show the acupuncture points, there are nerves and meridians within the ear canal connecting to the pores. These nerves are connected from one part of the body to the other, attaching themselves to organs, bones, muscles, skin, and run to the very extremities of our hands, feet, and into our system connecting to our sinuses, skeletal, lymph nodes, eyes, cerumen glands and to other parts of the body.

The cerumen gland processes unwanted substances such as yeast, sugars, and fluids along with protein matter, fats and carbohydrates in producing ear wax all day long all year round. When the pores have an over-abundance of ear wax, the pores are then swollen, putting pressure on the nerve endings. In turn, the nerve endings puts pressure on the organ, which inhibits the organ from producing the essential nutrients for the immune system. Also, nerve endings become blocked and cannot transmit vibration frequencies when fungus or yeast growth is attached.

How does it work?

Ear candling is even less invasive than conventional ear cleaning. The cone is a thin, hollow candle hand-wrapped from organic cotton that has been dipped in beeswax. The wide end of the cone is lit, placed in a protective barrier to separate the flame from the client, and the narrow end placed inside the ear, where it quickly forms a seal. The warmth and rising smoke create a gentle vacuum that reaches deep within the ear to pull out accumulated wax, bacteria and debris such as dust, sand, or even small insects. During each session, the practitioner stimulates acupressure points on the client’s head relating to the ears, sinuses and throat, allowing a deeper release from those areas. Ear coning is gentle, safe, and so relaxing that many people fall asleep during the procedure. Ear coning is also safe to use on children.
Ear Coning takes about 45 minutes and consists of two candles per ear. Most clients report results after a single session.

Important Note:

Ear coning is not a cure for any disease or specific ailment. Ear coning is not designed to take the place of professional medical advice or treatment. Some people should not use cones. For instance, people who have had ear, nose, throat or sinus surgery recently, and those with tubes in the ears. Anyone with ear drum rupture, or bleeding of the ear should see a doctor immediately as this indicates a serious ear problem.
