New York Ear Candling: Working and Benefits of Ear Candling

This entry was posted in Wellness Center on by .

Ear candling is an alternative therapy that dates back to 2500 BC. References of this therapy can be found in ancient cultures including the Egyptians, Mayans, Tibetans, Chinese, Indians, and many parts of the Orient. Initially, it was offered only to great warrior, religious leaders, or those at the peak of the social ladder. However today it is widely used in U.S. and many modern countries across the world. Many Americans, along with the health care that they obtain from their primary health care practitioner, prefer to include alternative medicine methods. One of these methods is Ear Candling which is now being chosen to tackle minor illnesses involving the sinuses, the respiratory system and the ears. This service is also offered by many beauty salons in New York. Ear Candling is thus a harmless, non-invasive natural soothing cleansing method.

New York Ear Candling: How it Works

In New York, ear candling involves the use of hollow candle known as the ear candle. The narrow end of the hollow candle is held gently on to the edge of the ear. The other end of the candle is then lit. The smoke is pulled down into the ear canal because of the spiral of the cone. The flame creates vacuum in the ear. The wax and other material are drawn out from the ear canal to the base of the candle because of the heat and the vacuum created. During the process of burning a lot of cracking and hissing sound is heard which is the sound of the wax being removed. Once the process is complete, the candle is cut open in order to check the amount of the debris in it which gives idea about the effectiveness of the procedure. Some of the residue is from the candle itself while some from the ear.
