Ear Candling Ear candling is a healing art
that has been practiced since ancient
times. Rock paintings show the use of
ear candles at medicinal ceremonies and
in certain rituals.
Ear candling is sometimes referred to as
ear coning, because the ear “candles” are
hollow and open on each end, like a cone.
They are traditionally made of cotton or
muslin cloth dipped in wax and rolled into
a taper shape.
In an ear candling session at Wellness
Within, your therapist will put a couple
of drops of garlic oil in each ear and
massage around the ear until the oil
has had a chance to move down the ear
canal. In addition to excess wax,the
ear canal may contain fungus and yeast
that can lead to ear infections and pain.
As you lie comfortably on your side, the
therapist will insert an ear candle lightly
into the opening of your ear, just enough so
that smoke will not be able to escape.
The experience is gentle and comfortable. The other end of the
candle will be lit, and as it burns down your therapist will continue to
massage around your ear from all sides, always keeping a hand
between you and the flame.
As the candle burns, a light suction, known as the chimney effect, is
created. In addition, the movement of the flame creates a gentle
vibration of air within the candle. These two effects produce a feeling
of warmth and massage on the eardrum, balancing pressure within
the ears and sinuses and relieving pain. Clients often report better
hearing, clearer breathing, and a heightened sense of smell after
treatment.
