What are the Benefits of Ear Candles?

"Imagine, if you can, a hollow candle that can get rid of inches of impacted earwax, candida infections and fungus. Imagine a candle that could be an alternative to surgery. Imagine a candle that has the power to improve and return hearing, improve physical balance, cleanse the sinus cavities and the lymphatic system, cleanse toxins left by medications, eliminate ear pains and promote healthier ears.

An ancient technique exists called ear candling, and the use of ear candles is practiced effectively today. And it's sweeping the country like wildfire. All over America, people can't seem to get enough of the benefits of ear candles. The technique is so easy that all it requires are two ear candles and a little common sense.

What is Ear Candling and the History of Ear Candles?

Ear candling is an ancient technique that has been around for thousands of years. Many think it started with the ancient Egyptians, who searched for reeds in the Nile River so they could clean and dry out their ears. Because of the success of this technique, word of the benefits of ear candling spread to other parts of the globe, such as China, Greece and even South America. Now, the use of ear candles are common in many places.

In fact, here in the United States, ear candling was a popular American folk remedy. The participants wrapped newspapers around gun cleaning rods, dipped them in wax or glue and next removed the rod. What they had left was a hollow tube of wax used as an ear candle. In Germany, use of ear candles is taught as a valid ear-cleaning procedure to medical students. Ear candling stands in a class of its own when it comes to natural healing.

This truly amazing technique utilizes a hollow candle coated with wax. The instructions are simple. One end of the ear candle is placed snugly into the ear, and the other end is the one you light. The lighting of the candle creates a gentle vacuum that can soften and dislodge wax and debris and pull it into the ear candle.

The principle of this procedure is very simple. When the ear candle is placed in the ear canal and lit, the flame warms the air inside the cylinder and produces a vacuum. Obviously, the flame needs oxygen, and in order to feed it oxygen, the air inside the ear candle must rise upward. This in turn creates suction and airflow through the ear canal.

Ear candling is a very effective way you can totally cleanse your ears. There is debris inside the ears that cannot be reached with fingertips or Q-tips alone. Impacted wax, fungus, past residues of infection, fat globules build up in the ear and hide in the crevices. For example, people who have candida yeast typically have an accumulation of fungus in the ears. Because the ear is dark and moist, it provides a perfect environment for yeast to breed. It is close to the blood supply that comes up into the head and therefore is supplied by a major food source.

Ear candling is not limited to sick persons or those afflicted by ear problems. Just like regular body maintenance, such as clipping the fingernails, brushing the teeth or combing the hair, everyone can benefit from having their ears cleaned. Most people do not truly realize exactly how much "gunk" is in the ears until they undergo their first ear candling session. You will be very surprised at the amount of stuff that has been hiding in the grooves of the ears since the time of birth. It gets into the hard to reach areas where the fungus and wax has become impacted and hardened.

How often should the ears be cleaned?

The length of time between each ear candling session depends upon the condition of the ears. For general cleaning purposes, simply to keep the ears in good healthy shape, once every couple of months will do just fine. If the problem is more severe, such as difficulty hearing, three sessions can be done three to seven days apart from one another. This allows the ear time to replenish its normal wax and , in addition, stimulate its own healing naturally."
   
The ear contains nerve endings and acupuncture points to every other area of the body, mind, and emotions. The nerve endings are connected by streams of the subtle energy flow, which carries our life force energy. If hearing is impaired or blocked, we are disconnected from that energy. Through a process called "convection," softer waxes and toxins will be drawn out of the ear, oxidized, and turned into vapors during the procedure.

Ear candling acts as a catalyst to clear out debris accumulated on nerve endings. This allows for clear vibrational flow to the corresponding areas of the mind, body, and spirit. This clears the way for other methods of healing.
