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.

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."
