 Ear Candling
The natural ear candles contain the essential oils
of Eucalyptus, Echinacea and Tea Tree.
Herbal Paraffin Candles are especially soothing during
the cold and flu season and may provide relief from
summer allergies and hay fever. Beeswax tends to burn
smoother, cleaner and longer than paraffin candles.
The beeswax mixed with a special blend of essential
oils makes your ear candling an all-natural experience.
Lavender and Paraffin Candles are available for individuals
with allergies to beeswax.
A traditional practice used for more than 2000 years,
ear candling (also called ear coning) consists of placing
the tapered end of a hollow cylinder coated with wax
into the opening of the ear canal and lighting the opposite
end on fire. Smoke and warmth will then freely enter
the ear canal and begin softening hardened and impacted
earwax.
Modern ear candling uses disposable hollow candles made
from strips of unbleached cotton or linen dipped in
paraffin or beeswax. Some candles are made with herbs
or essential oils mixed into the wax, similar to the
way ancient peoples placed medicinal plants and herbs
in their ear candles for the beneficial effects of the
smoke.
Though many ear candlers believe the candle actually
"draws out" ear wax with the suction of fire,
this is not true. The smoke and warmth help soften and
break-up your hardened ear wax allowing your body to
excrete it naturally.
Any wax deposits you may find inside the candle consist
entirely of beeswax or paraffin wax used in production
of the ear candle. It is not ear wax.
