Ear Candling
 A
traditional
practice
used for
centuries,
ear candling
(also called
coning)
consists of
placing a
hollow
cylinder
coated with
wax at the
opening of
the ear
canal and
lighting the
other end to
allow warm
smoke to
enter the
ear. Ear
Candling is
used for
soothing the
symptoms of
ear
problems. It
can help
relieve
pain,
discomfort
and itching,
and assist
the ear in
its natural
removal of
unwanted wax
and debris
(including
remains of
infections
and
environmental
pollution)
from the ear
canal.
Modern ear
candling
uses
disposable
hollow
candles made
from strips
of
unbleached
cotton or
linen dipped
in
paraffin or
beeswax. The
spiral roll
of these
candles
creates the
same effect
as the
ancient
pottery ear
cones. Some
candles are
made with
herbs or
essential
oils mixed
into the
wax, in a
similar way
as the
ancients
placed herbs
in their ear
cones for
the
beneficial
effects of
the smoke.
Disclaimer:
There is a
wealth of
historical,
clinical and
anecdotal
evidence for
the health
benefit of
ear candles.
However, ear
candles have
not been
evaluated or
approved by
the FDA as a
treatment or
cure for
medical
conditions.
Therapeutic
outcomes
cannot be
guaranteed.
Results may
vary. If
conditions
persist,
please seek
advice from
your medical
doctor.
