Alleviate the pain and pressure associated with sinusitis, ear aches, swimmer's ear, allergies, middle-ear infections, and hearing difficulties with a natural and holistic treatment called "Ear Candling."
Ear Candling is an amazing elimination technique that also greatly improves mental clarity, and energy. It is a safe, natural, and effective ear cleaning technique that has been with us for thousands of years.
Ear Candling involves the use of a hollow cloth candle, usually coated with beeswax and paraffin. The person receiving the treatment lies comfortably on his/her side on a cushioned bed with the knees and back supported.
The hollow cylinder is gently placed in the outer opening of the ear and lit on the opposite end.
This small flame creates a slow vacuum.
With no discomfort, old ear wax and noxious toxins are removed, helping to relieve pressure, wax build up, and inner ear blockage.
The client may hear some crackling and popping as the ear wax is being loosened. These sounds are said to remind some of a crackling fire or heavy rain. With the dimly lit room, and soothing sounds it isn't unusual for the recipient of this treatment to fall asleep.
Ear Candling is particularly beneficial for those suffering from ear aches, sinus problems, headaches, and various hearing difficulties. Problems with hearing can stem from a number of sources.
Constant sounds in the ear, such as ringing, hissing, and buzzing, are caused by a condition called "tinnitus." This occurs when one hears a sound when no external physical sound is present. Some call it "ear ringing".
There are many causes of tinnitus including exposure to excessively loud sounds either on the job or recreational, allergies, and nutritional deficiencies.
More than 200 prescription and non-prescription drugs list tinnitus as a potential side effect.
Two additional conditions which may affect
the ears are labyrinthitis and borstrauma.
Labyrinthitis can affect your sense of balance and can cause feelings
of nausea and vertigo. Borstrauma is a condition in which changes
in air pressure disrupt the balance between the middle and the
outer ear.
This is a likely to occur if you have a stuffy nose or sinus problems when you travel by plane.
Ear Candling is not intended to replace regular medical attention or procedures by your health care provider. It is a holistic remedy that has proven results for hearing problems, headaches and to give one a clear sense of well-being.
It is important not to have Ear Candling if you have undergone recent ear surgery, perforated ear drums, a current ear infection, tubes in your ears or any bleeding from the ear.
Other than the above listed contraindications, anyone can benefit from an Ear Candling treatment.
Twice a year we all head to the dentist to have our teeth cleaned to keep our mouths healthy. Why not keep our ears healthy will an Ear Candling session? This is a safe, relaxing procedure with absolutely no discomfort.
