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!
Iīve never had an ear candling before . . . isnīt 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.
Conditions
that may benefit from Ear Candling:
• Ringing in the Ears
• Migraines
• Ear Infections
• Plugged Ears
• Chronic Sinusitis
• TMJ Dysfunction
• Hearing Challenges
• Imbalance
• Excessive Wax
• Inner Ear Pressure
• Ear Aches & Pain
You
can have future ear candling sessions whenever you feel the time is
right . . . just use your own judgment . . .
As a suggestion, consider this . . . Most dentists recommend an oral
exam and cleaning every 6 months to maintain good oral hygiene. Arenīt
your ears just as important as your teeth? An ear candling session every
6 months would certainly be practical and beneficial.
Ear candling is simply an Old
Home Remedy . .
. It is NOT a cure for any disease, illness or ailment! We
believe Ear Candling can have many positive health benefits for you.
But, you must be the ultimate judge in determining if this time-honored
practice, will be beneficial to you.
