For thousands of years a form of hygiene known as Ear Candling was used as a way naturally cleansing the inside of the ears and head. Today, more and more are seeking alternatives to digging in the ears with Q-tips or using a hydrogen peroxide flush to clear blockages in the ear canal.
What is Ear Candling?
Ear Candling is a natural, non-intrusive procedure that may help alleviate the painful effects of chronic headaches or sinus conditions, ear infections, allergies or vertigo, as well as minor hearing loss due to excessive earwax build up.
How does it work? It is believed as the candle burns, gentle warm smoke is drawn into the ear canal that softens and loosens candida, wax, and other debris through osmosis. This means anything on the other side of the eardrum will turn into a gas form to pass through the ear drum membrane. It is then collected into the remaining unburned portion of the candle.
How can ear candling help me?
Dry hacking cough - Many coughs are a direct result of a sinus infection. The inner ear and small sinus cavities get blocked with mucus and infection sets in. Ear candling helps drain and dry out the small, dark places where germs live and multiply.
Sinus Headaches - Blockages in the inner ear or sinus cavities can cause pressure to build. Ear candling can help to open blocked passages.
Tinitus - Dehydration can cause ringing in the ears coupled with wax buildup. Drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of pure water per day. Then the ear candling procedure can help break down the wax.
Itchy Ears - This could be caused from an abundance of yeast in the body, creating a situation of candida (too much sugar in the body). The Candida starting in the intestines and traveling up into the eustation tube, can get into the sinuses and ear canal. Ear candling helps to dry out these areas.
