What is ear
candling? The ear candling treatment (also known as coning, candling, or ear coning), is
a relaxing and therapeutic method many people use to promote ear health. This
age-old 'home remedy' works to relieve pain and discomfort, and the warmth and
smoke may assist the body's natural process to excrete impacted or infected
earwax during the days after candling is performed.
How do ear
candles work? The healing property of the ear candle has its foundation in two primary
physical actions.
First, the slight pressure created inside the ear candle, and
the vibration of the rising air column, serve to gently massage the ear drum
and promote secretion in the frontal and paranasal sinuses. This has an
immediate effect of regulating ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing,
light sensation in the ear/head area.
Second, the locally applied warmth
stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system, and reinforces the
flow of lymph.
Ear candle users often report successful treatment of nose and
throat congestion, sinusitis (or other sinus problems), headaches, T.M.J. pain,
tinnitus earaches, and swimmers ear.
Ear candles are an ideal relaxation
treatment for stress or anxiety related symptoms. Ear candles, generally
speaking, tend to soften earwax for easy removal. At the same time,
important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated, causing further
relaxation of the muscles in and around the ear, which can also help the ear
and sinuses to open up.
