EAR CANDLING An ear candle, sometimes called an ear cone, is a long hollow tube tapered to a hand-finished tip, that fits comfortably into the outer ear canal. The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke created spirals down through the ear canal. The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris, softens old ear wax and helps evaporate excess moisture. Ear Candles are believed to help relieve earache pain, provide relief from pressure in the sinuses and allow the ear to naturally push out the old ear wax.     Ear candling has been around for centuries and originated in ancient civilizations such as China, India and Egypt. The Native American culture, such as the Aztec and Mayan civilizations used candling in healing and purification before initiation rites. Using ear candles is generally more comfortable and less expensive than conventional methods, which can be painful. Ear candling is a non-invasive, peaceful, relaxing and actually quite pleasant experience. The ear candling process is also believed to detoxify the lymphatic system and clear the sinuses, which can also improve the clarity of hearing, sight, smell and taste. More subtle changes may occur on an energy level resulting in greater emotional stability and an overall sense of well-being.
