History – What is Ear Candling?
Although centuries old, the ancient technique of Ear Candling or Ear Coning has seen increasing interest in the past decade in the holistic community. Thought to have originated with the Egyptians around 2500 BC, it was used for spiritual cleansing as well as physical cleaning.
Ear Candling is a procedure that is practiced all over the world and continues to be practiced in Egypt, China, and Native American Indian cultures. All of these cultures used Ear Candling in healing and spiritual purification prior to initiation rites.
Background
The ear contains approximately four thousand pores along with several thousand-nerve endings, which attach themselves to acupuncture points associated with organs, bones, muscles, and skin, which carry subtle energy flows that carry our life force. These pores run long and deep into our system connecting to our sinuses, skeleton, lymph nodes, eyes, and other parts of our body. The pores also connect to the cerum gland, which produces earwax 24 hours a day. When there is an overabundance of earwax, the wax puts pressure on the nerve endings. The nerve ending then puts pressure on the organ and deters it from producing the essential nutrients necessary for our immune system to function optimally.
Candling today and its benefits
Ear Candling is an alternative that has a way of working with a subtle vacuum in allowing the body to naturally cleanse the ear of wax and debris in an effortless, non-invasive way. This procedure can been seen as a method for cleansing the ear canal and sinuses, that is far less invasive than the standard medical irrigation techniques
Ear Candling may contribute towards alleviating conditions ranging from tinnitus to allergies, swollen lymph nodes, candida, and ear-related symptoms that cause discomfort in the head, neck and shoulder regions. In addition, Ear Candling may also detoxify the lymphatic system thus clearing the sinuses of congestion and discomfort associated with eye, ear, nose and throat ailments. It may improve the clarity of hearing, sight, smell, touch, and taste.
Ear Candling is a complementary modality to assist in the body's own ability to drain, eliminate toxins and to enhance the focus on wellness.
Even more important, the practice can be relaxing and uplifting, leading to a sense of well being and contentment.
Why candle?
The purpose of candling is to stimulate opening of the pores for drainage and to remove wax buildup, especially the heavy impacted wax that normal cleaning cannot remove. Candling is a comfortable alternative to the traditional cleaning method of forcing water into the ear canal.
Candling is also believed to remove candida, yeasts, fungus, and remnants of past infections. The Ear, Nose and Throat Journal of U of U Medical lab reported that the types of bacteria we currently fight in our ears include Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Anaerobic bacteria, and Influenza A and B.
Candling can be done on persons of any age. We have clients with children, even babies, who have experienced Ear Candling with remarkable results. Inner ear infection is one of the top reasons for hospital admittance in children. Often candling has been used as a last effort for treating chronic ear infections and to avoid ear tubal placement. As well as treating the ear, candling can work on the sinus and lymph system, removing impurities there as well.
Because of all the intricate crevices in the ear, amounts of debris can accumulate. This buildup creates a breeding ground for problems, and can also interfere with correct hearing. Impacted wax can build up against ear ducts and can also block reception of incoming sound waves. This lifetime accumulation may explain some of the hearing problems we develop as we age. It is reported that 20% of adults between 65-74 have hearing problems.
How candles work / procedure
Original style coning by the Egyptians utilized hollow reeds. In addition, many South American cultures use rolled paper wrapped with herbs as a candle. Today, coning/candling uses a hollow candle, much like a large straw. Although they differ, most candles are made of 100% unbleached cotton (muslin) fabric coated with purified paraffin and/or bees' wax. There are also some specialty candles, which contain herbs and oils.
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, candida, yeast, and other particles of debris out of the ear and up into the bottom of the candle. The warmed air from the flame and the colder existing air moving through the hollow chamber of the candle cause the vacuum. The movement and compression between the ear canal and the candle chamber generate airflow with increasing velocity, thus producing the "sucking" vacuum.
The burning candle creates a gentle, soft flow of warmth and smoke that flows into the ear, drying the ear out, and helping to soften old earwax, and to soothe the ear. Its spiral shape draws the smoke downward, and then it spirals into the ear canal and Eustachian tube creating just enough warmth to melt wax and other debris (candida) onto the smoke. The wax and debris-laden smoke then circles back out of the ear and up through the small opening of the candle where it deposits the wax and debris. The process gathers toxins from the lymphatic and sinus systems, helping you to breathe better.
The process is very soothing, relaxing and non-invasive. The procedure assists the body's natural excretion process over a period of time.
The Ear Candling Session
Generally a session will include the use of two candles, one for each ear and takes approximately 30 -45 minutes. Depending on individual circumstances, it is usually recommended that one wait a few days between each ear candling session as it takes the ears about 24 hours to replace their protective coating of wax if it has been removed.
Most often, an improvement in hearing is reported after a candling sessions. Responses from several clients indicate ear candles are effective. Keep in mind that many have reported all sorts of things ending up in the ear... dirt, dust, sand, along with small flying insects, etc. The ear naturally works on its own to expel foreign materials, while candling certainly assists with the effects of vacuum.
