Ear Candling Benefits and Treatment Information

What are ear candles used for?

Ear candles are best used to treat certain problems involving pain and congestion in the region, and for relaxation and treating stress and anxiety problems.

Ear candles can be very beneficial in the treatment of sinusitis, nose and throat congestion, headaches, T.M.J. pain, tinnitus, otitis externa and tropical ear. Ear candles are an ideal relaxation treatment for stress or anxiety related symptoms, and also soften the earwax for easier removal.

How do I use the ear candles?

Ear candles are easy to use. For safety reasons we do not recommend that you carry out the treatment by yourself, it should always be done by a second person. This will ensure your safety during the treatment and enables a considerably deeper relaxation.

How do ear candles work?

Ear candles have a purely physical function. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the ear candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum.

This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earaches and headaches, ear noise, stress and nervousness.

How often should I use ear candles?

We generally recommend one treatment daily for up to seven days in acute cases, one to two times a week for chronic indications, and one treatment regularly every three to four weeks for preventative or revitalizing indications.

Should the treatment be performed on both ears?

Yes, each ear should be treated one after the other.

Does the ear candle remove wax from the ear?

The ear candles are not intended to remove wax from the ear and are not used for the purpose of cleaning the ear, however they may soften the wax to assist in cleaning.
