Ear Candling
Why would I need ear candling?
Ear candling is a natural, safe way to remove wax build up. It may also ease conditions including minor hearing loss, chronic headaches, sinus conditions, and ear infections.
Ear wax plays a protective role in keeping our ears clean, lubricated, and protected from bacteria and fungus.
In a healthy environment our ears have a natural process for cleaning themselves to remove excess wax. Generally there is no need for additional cleaning. But sometimes this self-cleaning process stops working, or doesn’t work as well as it should, and you can end up with excess wax.
The result of the wax build up may be muffled hearing, dizziness, and ringing in the ears. There may be sinus headaches and ear pain.
The Benefits of Ear Candling:
Ear Candling may help to alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with conditions including headaches, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and vertigo.
It may draw out excessive wax build up, fungus, and debris from the inner and outer ear canals and the Eustacian tube through osmosis.
Can everyone have this done? Yes, but it is best to leave ear candling alone for the time being if you have
- recently had ear surgery
- have perforated ear drums
- gromets or
- an acute ear infection
How long does it take?
Generally consultation takes about 10 minutes and then about 20 minutes for each ear unless there is a need to use two candles for one or both, depending on the amount of wax being removed.
