What is Ear Candling?

Ear Candling is the holistic way of treating ear aches and other common issues related to the ear. It is best defined as the use of an ear candle which is a beeswax or paraffin wax coated cloth that is shaped into a conical cylinder about 10” to 15” in length with varying widths. Ear Candling is a therapeutic relaxation technique similar to acupressure, acupuncture, and aromatherapy.

An Ear Candle is a long hollow tube tapered to a finished tip that fits comfortably into the outer ear canal.  The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke created spirals down through the ear canal.  The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris, softens old ear wax and helps evaporate excess moisture.

Ear candles are believed to help relieve ear ache pain, provide relief from pressure of sinus congestion and allow the ear to naturally push out the old ear wax.

The ear candling process is also believed to detoxify the lymphatic system and clear the sinuses, which can also improve the clarity of hearing, sight, smell and taste.  More subtle changes may occur on an energy level resulting in greater emotional stability and an overall sense of well being.

 Ear Candling is available at both our Medina and Wadsworth Chiropractic offices.
