Ear candles are a clearing therapy and are used very successfully for many problems associated with the ears and the head area. The lymph system and metabolism can be influenced by this intensive, pleasant and completely painless method of operation.

The process involves the use of a hollow candle with the narrow end held gently onto the edge of the ear. The flame creates a relative vacuum in the ear which draws out poisons, old wax, residues of past infection and fungus. It will also pull out fluid, right through the membrane of the inner ear. The ceremonious glands of the ear are constantly secreting wax and candida grows prolifically in the ear because it is a dark, moist area - a perfect place for mould to grow.

Ear Candling was an ancient remedy used by the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and the Hopi Indians of North America and is now widely used in many countries throughout the modern world. Each candle is still carefully made by hand from the traditional recipe. Locally administered heat stimulates the peripheral blood circulation, thus intensifying the immunological defense system, in addition to strengthening the cleansing circulation of the lymph glands. Stimulation also occurs to the energy points and reflex zones.

The excessive build-up of earwax, impacted plugs and candida fungus can cause hearing problems, infections and discomfort in the ears. Hearing impairment often creates distress and frustration, which in some children can even have an effect on their learning ability and speech.

The Indians of North America have long understood the problems associated with this build-up in the ears and developed a soft wax tube that they inserted in each ear in turn. A heat vacuum is created, drawing material from the ear up into the candle, where it is then evaporated in the flame.

Candling provides the ears with deep cleansing, removing wax and debris build-up that is normally difficult to reach. It is non-invasive and gentle and is recommended for both children and adults.
