Let’s talk about ear candling! Ear candling is an alternative therapy where we’re using a hollow candle that’s open on both ends. We insert the small end in the client’s ear while the larger end is out and while the client is laying down, relaxing, almost falling asleep. We light the larger end that is going to be on the outside of the ear canal, and what happens is the heat acts as a vacuum that helps clear out the impurities of your ear.
The benefits of ear candling include the removal of earwax, of course, but in addition to that, you get a relief of sinus pressure. Your ears, your nose, your throat; they’re all connected so you get a relief a pressure there. Also, it helps reduce the ringing of your ears. If you have ringing or clicking in your ears, ear candling will help with that and then also it helps you just rebalance your mental state. When you have a buildup of pressure or toxins in your ear canal it can kind of throw you off.
In short, ear candling really helps you get balanced and give you some mental clarity. Ear candling obviously helps you detox by removing impurities out of your ear but we don’t always know what those impurities could be. Of course, we’re most familiar with ear wax but we’ve seen things come out of people’s ears they didn’t even imagine – even parasites can come out of your ears during an ear candling. So give it a try. It’ll help you clear out your ear canal and you will definitely have a better mental state.
Ear candling is an ancestral technique for cleansing and detoxifying the ears, sinuses, nose and throat, through herbal cones that are decontaminated and drain substances and microorganisms – infectious spores, fungus and cerumen – causing various pains; it also releases the closed pores and regenerates cutaneous breathing helping, at the same time, to restore the correct tension of the eardrum after having undergone alterations of pressure due to mountain stays, air travel, bathing or underwater diving, which can create annoying feeling of “covered ears.”
It is a natural method, which allows perfect hygiene of the ear without any risk. It is a preventive hygienic practice that, from the first application, gives a feeling of well-being and a decrease in discomfort. The natural force of the fire is used when introducing in the entrance of the auditory conduit a candle, made with cotton fabric covered with herbal oils, essences, natural wax, or beeswax, which when consumed by fire, smoothly injects smoke and heat, which penetrates through the ear to the throat, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and through osmosis, reaches other structures. This smoke carries with it the herbal substances and a temperature that together de-crust particles and microorganisms that have been there for years.

Conclusion
In the current environment we live in, it is a matter of daily exposure to the pollution of cities, chemical products or also noise levels that are always increasing. All of this results in damage to our hearing system; ear conditions are more common, including cases such as hearing loss. Due to this situation, it is necessary to clean our ears periodically, at least every six months. Ear candling is the best answer to this problem. It achieves a deep cleaning, removing substances and bacteria trapped in the cerumen, quickly and painlessly. Ear candling also contributes to achieving an emotional balance, increased hearing, taste, smell, color perception, and other mental functions such as creativity.
