What Is Ear Candling?
This age old process is performed with specially designed cone--shaped candles. The larger end of the cone is lit, while the smaller end is inserted into the ear canal. Candling applies simple laws of science. The flame of the candle (when the candle is properly seated in the ear) creates a draw or vacuum which pulls the wax, fungus, yeast, and other particles of debris out of the ear and up into the bottom of the candle. The vacuum is caused by the warmed air from the flame and the colder existing air moving through the hollow chamber of the candle. The movement and compression between the ear canal and the candle chamber generate air flow with increasing velocity, thus producing the "sucking" vacuum. Ear candling is used primary for cleaning the ears and to promote a healthy atmosphere in the ears, sinus cavities, and throat. There are, however, several other benefits, as mentioned above.
