Q. Are there any precautions I should take when using ear candles?
Ear Candling should only be performed under supervision. Do not let the candle burn below the "stop" line indicated on the ear candle. |
Q. How does ear-candling work?
The smoke and warmth of the candle goes into the ear creating a vacuum. The warmth generated from the ear candle burning softens the earwax, which is then drawn through the tympanic membrane (eardrum). This process is very soothing, relaxing and non-invasive. At no point does the tip of the candle or the ear become hot to the touch. The candles are not burned below 10cm from the ear.
Q. What can I expert during, and after an ear candling session?
During the ear candling process you will feel a candle being lightly inserted into the ear and after it is lit you may feel a warm sensation in the ear. You should hear some crackling sounds coming from the candle as it burns down. Just relax and enjoy the soothing process being done.
If you have a hearing loss or a Candida infection in your ears, you may feel a little heat toward the end of the candle that may be quite soothing to you. If at any time you feel frightened or uncomfortable in any way, the candling process will end and continue when you feel it is appropriate. You could find that your hearing is much more acute and has improved if a blockage of wax has been removed. Your ear could feel airy and opened to sounds, tones and an overall since of freshness.
You may find your sinuses are draining or the drainage has increased afterward, which may relieve pressure and help clean out any materials in your sinus area.
