Sometimes called ear coning, it’s about the smoke, ear candling is simply a catalyst to clear the respiratory system:

• Helps clear sinuses
• Help clear lymph glands
• It vacuums off nerve endings in the ear canal
• Vacuums out the Eustachian tube

Q: How does it work?
A: The ear candle is a muslin cloth covered with bee’s wax. Smoke spirals into the ear canal from the small end of the candle with some force. The fire at the wide end looking for more oxygen gently draws through the small end which is sealed in the opening of the ear canal.
A wonderful side effect is deep relaxation, it stimulates the anti stress acupuncture point in the auditory canal. You see its effect on hyperactive kids as well as adults. Candling will also help the body to move out excess wax deposits. Ear wax becomes dry and leaves the canal in tiny balls. We help the process by using warm olive oil.
