Ear Candling is also known as ear coning, thermal-auricular therapy, auricular candling, or coning.
Many people ask what is Ear Candeling…
Ear Candling is a simple yet effective way of treating minor ear problems such as a build up of cerumen, known by most people as wax build up. Ear Candling is a natural procedure and may help the painful effects of chronic headaches or sinus conditions, or chronic ear infections.
How is Ear Candling Done?
The basics of ear candling is to place the small end of hollow cone shaped candle in your ear and light the large end, that is away from your ear and head. Ear Candling works with gentle warm smoke that is drawn into the ear canal. The theory is that it softens and loosens the wax and creates a low-level vacuum that draws wax and other debris out of the ear canal.The warmth may increase circulation and assist the body's natural process to excrete impacted ear wax or other debris.
What should I expect when getting the procedure done?
Ear Candling is not painful and there should be no discomfort. It is not unusual to hear a crackling or popping sound during the procedure, which is caused by the wax on the cone. Some people experience a gentle or comfortable warmth feeling in their ear during the procedure.
