Ear Candle

What is ear candling?

Ear candling, an ancient practice believed to have been performed for thousands of years, involves inserting a special candle into the ear canal. Once lit, the candle aids in ear cleaning by drawing out dirt and impurities without dripping wax into the ear. The heat from the candle is thought to extract earwax, making it a trusted form of alternative medicine.

It is a practice with numerous health benefits and is not just about cleaning the ear. It can improve hearing, aid in healing ear infections, and even help control stress. This procedure is best performed by trained beauty professionals or alternative therapists, ensuring your safety and well-being.

What is an ear candle?

An ear candle is a hollow cone submerged in wax made from paraffin, beeswax, or a combination of both. Typically, the wax contains ingredients like essential oils, honey, or rosemary. This 10-inch tool is used for an alternative treatment called ear candling, aimed at removing ear debris.

Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how ear candling works: The person receiving the treatment lies down, and the process is performed by a practitioner. The pointed end of the lit candle, which is usually made of a combination of paraffin and beeswax, is inserted into the ear canal. The warm vapour produced by the burning candle draws ear debris into the centre of the candle’s hole. To prevent debris from falling back into the ear, the burnt part of the candle is trimmed. This process takes about 10 to 15 minutes, after which the candle is extinguished.

What are the benefits of ear candling?

As mentioned earlier, ear candling offers benefits beyond cleaning the ears of debris. In terms of health, this procedure can help address sinus infections and headaches, improve hearing clarity, alleviate flu symptoms and sore throats, and even aid in blood pressure control. These benefits are likely due to the removal of earwax and the therapeutic effects of the warm vapour. Besides its physical health benefits, this method is also believed to help manage stress for those undergoing the treatment, thanks to the warmth and ritualistic aspect experienced during the procedure, promoting relaxation and well-being.

While ear candling can be beneficial for those seeking earwax removal or relief from symptoms like headaches or flu, it’s important to note that attempting this method at home can pose risks such as wax residue, burns, or earwax impaction. It’s always best to seek professional help for this procedure.
