Ear candling/coning is a simple
and safe way of removing excess earwax and toxins from the inside of your
ears. The process is very relaxing and soothing and the Egyptians,
American Indians, and European Healers used ear cones, also known as ear
candles, as a safe and effective way to eliminate excess earwax and to
sooth the inner ear.
Key Benefits
- removes excess earwax
- increased hearing, smell, taste
- may improve vision and color perception
- detoxify the sinus and lymph system
- assist in reducing headaches
How it works
While lying on your side, the small end is placed in the ear and the
large end is ignited like a candle. As the Cone is burning, excess earwax
is naturally removed from the ear canal and pulled into the inside of the
cone while the smoke soothes the nasal and sinus cavities. In addition to
the removal of earwax, Ear Coning is considered to benefit hearing, smell,
taste, and vision and color perception. It is also considered to help
detoxify the sinus and lymph system and assist in reducing headaches.
What
To Expect During An Ear Candling Session . . .
During an Ear Candling session you lie on your side with your
body in a straight alignment. A special conical candle is inserted into
a protective plate . . . The candle is lit and slowly begins to burn.
The small tapered end of the candle is gently placed into your ear
canal. The ear candle -- by its shape, design and length --
draws ear wax and fungus deposits from deep inside your ear canal.
As the ear candling session progresses, extracted ear wax and fungus
will be burned off, but a majority will be collected in the bottom part
of the candle. After the candle has burned down and been extinguished,
the therapist will cut open the remnant and show you the former contents
of your ear canal. Most people cannot believe what has been collected
there! Expect to be amazed!
I've never had an ear candling before . . . isn't it painful? No, there
is no pain whatsoever. You will only feel the candle being carefully
inserted in your ear. You may also hear some crackling and popping, as
the ear wax is being pulled from within your ear. All you have to
do is just relax and enjoy your ear candling session time . . .
If you have excessive hearing loss, you may feel some heat during the
ear candling session since your feeling (tactile) senses are keener than
a person with relatively better hearing. If you are one of these people
. . . and you experience some discomfort -- you may request that the
therapist stop the procedure briefly -- after a short intermission, you
can continue with your session. |
What Happens
After An Ear Candling Session . . .
For a short time after your
ear candling session . . . you may feel a lightness in your head and
noises may seem to be much louder to you. This can be relieved by
putting a little ear oil on some cotton and inserting this in each of
your ears. You will most likely notice improved hearing, because
the wax blockage is no longer present in your ears . . .
For a day or two after your ear candling session you may feel a warmth,
or some itching in your ears. This is very easy to resolve. . .
You can relieve the itching by simply putting a drop or two of Hydrogen
Peroxide in your ears and then gently wipe them out with a cotton swab.
Or if you prefer, use the same procedure, but with Echinacea liquid
instead of the Hydrogen Peroxide.
You may also notice your sinuses are draining, or that sinus drainage
increases after your ear candling session. This is beneficial and will
relieve the pressure in your sinus areas. If you have had occurrences of
sinus headaches, you should experience a decrease in their frequency.
Also you may experience a heightened sense of taste, smell and sight.
