Ear Candling/Ear Coning

Ear candling is an age-old home remedy used to soothe the ears and help relieve pain and itching from infections and other conditions.  The process can help soften earwax and help the body excrete any excess wax.  Other benefits may include helping to dry out any fluids in the ear canal.

When the body is under stress the flow of energy diminishes... until it is released or totally blocked.  You may not be aware of this initially, but eventually symptoms will appear in the body.  When this energy becomes blocked in the head area, or when excessive ear wax builds up, you may develop conditions such as stuffed sinuses or sinusitis, headaches, earaches, vertigo (dizziness), minor hearing loss, sore throat or coughing, allergies or upper respiratory infections.  If they are not cleared, the flow of energy slows down, and pain or discomfort usually sets in.

The removal of earwax is only a minor part of ear candling, in fact, rarely is any earwax extracted at all.  Earwax is essential to our well being.  It acts as a shock absorber for sound waves, and along with the hair in our ears, it stops noise, pollution, and dust.

Ear candling involves the use of a hollow candle coated with wax.  The candle is placed gently into the opening of the ear and lit.  Warm smoke travels through the candle and soothes the ear.  Following the procedure, the ear continues to excrete earwax, plus any extra wax.  The procedure is comfortable during and afterwards.  A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of the air in the ear candle.  Many find the process so relaxing that they tend to fall asleep during the candling process.

Ear candling should not be used as a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment.  If you have a serious ear disease, tubes in your ears, eardrum damage or an upper respiratory infection, consult a physician before you attempt this process.

We follow the procedure with a soothing massage of the area around the ear.  Ear candling is an excellent part of your holistic health care and maintenance.  Call 860-536-3880 today to set up your appointment.
