What are Ear Candles?

The Ear Candles that I use in my clinic are handmade from New Zealand beeswax lined with 100% cotton. They are 30cms long and have one tapered end.

Many people have found ear candling useful in assisting:

• drying excess ear wax to allow it to fall out.
• drying debris from past and current infections to allow it to fall out.
• drying fluid in the ear canal (especially in people who swim or surf a lot).
• the relief of ear infection or sinus pain caused by blockages which bring about excess pressure.

It is thought it does this by circulating warm air in the air canal.

The vast majority of people feel it is an effective treatment gentle enough for use on children and those with painful ear infections.

Hearing aid wearers, swimmers, divers and surfers also find it very useful.

Those who have pain when flying find ear candling is great to do before hand.

The preceding is to provide information about Ear Candling and the benefits that may be derived. It is not intended to claim a cure for any disease or condition.

And while Ear Candling is not designed to replace other therapies, medical or complementary it is always good practice to consult your health professional before undertaking any new therapy.

We are all responsible for our own health choices :)

Thank goodness for that!
