During the Ear Candling Session you lie on you side, relaxing. The ear is gently cleaned with hydrogen Peroxide. A special conical candle is used. The candle is lit and slowly burns ... The small tapered end of the candle is gently placed into the ear canal. The ear by its shape, design and length, draws ear wax and fungus deposits from the ear canal.

As the candling session continues, extracted ear wax and fungus is collected in the lower part of the candle. The candle will be cut open by the therapist to show you what has been drawn out. It is unbelievable what has been collected. The process is not painful. You may hear crackling, as the earwax is being pulled out. Just relax and enjoy the relaxing light massage of your head. Garlic drops can be given if you don't mind the scent around you for some days after. Echinacea liquid can also be used. Both these oils can be used before or after your session.

If you do have hearing loss, you may feel some heat during the ear candling. You're feeling senses (tactile) are somewhat keener than a person with better hearing.

After the session ..... noises will seem louder to you. Inserting cotton in the ears will relieve this. For a day or two you may be releasing wax or feel some itching. This can be relieved by alcohol on cotton swab. Turn head side ways and allow the alcohol to drip from the swab. Gently clean.

You may experience some sinus drainage, or draining for a few days. This is beneficial and will relieve any pressure in the sinus area. You will also experience a heightened sense of taste, smell and sight.

CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE BENIFITED FORM EAR CANDLIN6:

As a suggestion ... once or twice a year is recommended to be practical and beneficial.

Ear Candling is an old Indian Home Remedy. It is not a cure for any disease, nor does it replace medical treatment for illness. I believe this process has many positive health benefits for you. This process can also be learned by anyone.
