What About Ear Candles?

Here is a solution to all those sufferers of head colds, sinus pressure, vertigo, excess ear wax, ear infections, ear pressure troubles and water on the ear. Ear candles. Sound strange?

To anyone who has never heard of them before, it’s a natural reaction. But really they are very simple to use, gently & very effective.

The Value of ............. Ear Candles

Ear candling is a gentle way to remove: excess ear wax, debris from past & current infections, fluid in the ear canal (especially in people who swim or surf a lot) and ear infection or sinus pain caused by blockages which bring about excess pressure.

t does this by circulating warm air in the air canal and gently drawing it out and up the hollow candle. It is an effective treatment gently enough for use on children and those with painful ear infections. It is also very useful for hearing aid wearers, swimmers, divers and surfers. Ear candling is also great to do before flying as it clears the tubes (which will prevent pain from the increased air pressure on take off and landing).

How to Operate

One end of the ear candle is lit and the tapered end is placed inside (or snuggly fitted to the outside of) the ear canal. The air trapped in the ear candle warms up and circulates in the ear canal drying out all the excess ear wax, infection and water in the ear. Due to the mild vacuum created by the flame, it is then drawn out of the ear and up into the ear candle.

Still sound strange and scary ?? Anyone who has used them will tell you it really is not strange, scary or difficult to use. Like anything, once you have used them and seen the amazing amount of excess ear wax that is gently drawn out, you will see for yourself the simple effectiveness of ear candling.

Ear candling is gentle enough to use on children and hearing aid wearers.

Benefits Range Wide

• Hearing aid wearers have great results from ear candling. Their ear wax can get built up behind the hearing aids. Therefore they may need two ear candlings at first to draw out the built up ear wax. After the initial treatment, regular ear candling every two to four weeks makes a great difference to their hearing by enabling the hearing aid to work to its maximum potential. This would of course apply to the elderly as well although if they do not wear hearing aids they may not need to do ear candling as frequently.
• Swimmers and surfers have the problem of water left on the ear. Sometime this can happen after syringing the ear as well. Ear candles circulate warm air in the ear canal so of course this would dry out the water and draw up the evaporation into the ear candle.
• Divers and those about to fly can have problems of pressure build up in the ear canal caused by excess ear wax. These can be relieved by ear candling

Ear candles can be used at anytime to remove excess ear wax – often we don’t even know that we have excess ear wax until we find a large amount come out after ear candling! Ear candles can be used to relieve the pain of an ear infection, and after the infection is cleared, to draw out the remaining infection debris.

Ear candling can be done as often as you like. If you are still getting lots of ear wax/infection out of the ear at the end of ear candling, you can use more ear candles straight away.

Everyone is different, so the frequency of ear candling is really up to you. No particles are created by the ear candle itself when ear candling, so if you stop drawing out ear wax/infection debris then your ear is clear.
