Brief History of Ear Candling

Ear Candling is not a new alternative therapy. Dating back to the year 2500 B.C. there is evidence showing that people used and were familiar with the practice of ear candling. Ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, made reference to its use. Parchment scrolls discovered in the Orient, also have described the procedure for ear candling.
 
This ancient therapeutic art may have been developed with the domestication of the honeybee. Beeswax was and still is a key component to making the hollow cylinders used in the procedure. The principal cloth used by ancient Egyptians was linen made from flax (the fibers of an annual blue-flowered plant).Today, as in times past high-quality, ear candles are handmade from beeswax and unbleached cotton cloths. These specially fabricated candles are typically nine (9) to twelve (12) inches long and will burn for approximately ten minutes. This simple and time-proven therapy can be very effective in removing old and troublesome blockages from the ear canal, without the use of solutions or probes. Many people are rediscovering the value of Ear Candling to cleanse the ear canal and sinus passages.

During an Ear Candling session you lie on your side with your body in a straight alignment. A special conical candle is inserted into a protective plate. The small tapered end of the candle isgently placed into your ear canal. The candle is lit and slowly begins to burn. The ear candle draws ear wax and fungus deposits from your ear canal. As the ear candling session progresses, extracted ear wax and fungus will be burned off, but a majority will be collected in the bottom part of the candle. After the candle has burned down and been extinguished you can ask the therapist to cut open the remnant and show you the former contents of your ear canal.
