The History of Ear Candles

Ear Candling - sometimes known as 'ear coning' - was used by the Egyptians, Chinese, East Indians and Tibetans over 3,000 years ago. Originally the process was described as 'coning' because cone-shaped instruments made from clay were used. These glazed pottery cones had a double helix carved inside to create a downward spiral flow of smoke from burning herbs into the ear canal.
For centuries, people around the world practiced the art of candling as a form of spiritual healing, to clear the mind and senses. Today, people all over the world use ear candles to relieve pain, sinus problems, excessive wax and debris.

Ear Candles and Their Benefits

Ear candles produce their benefits for 2 reasons:

• The heat, due to the combustion of the candle walls, softly penetrates up to the tympanic membrane softening the cerumen (ear wax). It revitalizes the acupuncture points, it stimulates the blood circulation and frees the clogged pores.
• The candle's combustion creates a depression within the ear due to the 'Chimney Effect'. Wastes and noxious deposits inside the ears are often visible on the wax wastes, condensed within the candle after treatment.

Remember, Ear Candling is merely a home remedy. No claim is made for a cure of any disease or ailment. It is not designed to take the place of a medical doctor's care when such care is indicated.
It is important to note that you are not to self-administer ear candles - always have someone do it for you!
