Ears Are for Hearing and Balance:

Your ears are organs for hearing and balance. Sound waves enter the outer-ear canal and strike the eardrum, making it vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through the three small bones of the middle ear (the ossicles) to the cochlea in the inner ear. Sensory impulses pass to the brain via the auditory nerve. The semi-circular canals help you keep your balance.

It can be performed on the very young through the elderly. *A three month old baby had a severe infection. Half of a candle was used and all the pain was relieved. At the start, it was like water expelling up the candle. *Due to hearing loss, a 105 year old woman had to give up visiting friends and neighbors, her only joy in life. After having her ears candled, she was back to visiting. The blockage was caused by heavy ear wax.

When Candling a very young child, ½ to 1 Ear Candle per is all that is needed. Two Ear Candles per ear is the minimum in a session. Never exceed four Candles per ear in any one Candling session as the ear canal may get irritated and become swollen.

7. How often can an Individual be candled?

A person with A severe pain can be Candled three times (2 candles per ear) 48 hours apart. The better ear is Candled first and the problematic ear last. Candling isn’t just for removing ear wax. Other symptoms and ailments ca be relieved by using the Candling process as close together as 3 times within 10 days, over the course of 3 weeks. Do not Candle more than 3 times in 10 days. It takes the ears about twenty-four hours to replace their protective coating of wax if it has been removed; therefore, it is NOT advisable to do Ear Candling every day. Ear maintenance can be done with the change of seasons, once or twice a year, or whenever needed. This has to be an individual decision.

8. Can I use candles in the nose or other parts of the body?

We highly recommend that candles be used only in the ears. However, we have found that by placing a candle into the plate guard or a piece of bread or toast then lighting the Candle and placing it on top of the navel of person with a stomach ache-they have noted a definite relief from pain in that area. We have also tried this procedure on the lower abdomen area when women experienced menstrual cramping; they also noted a definite relief from that discomfort.

Any person of any age.

10. Can both ears be candled at the same time?

We do not recommend it. There are Ear Candles on the market that are curved and made just for that purpose. It also takes a very experienced Ear Candler to use those candles and they don’t seem to give the desired results as when one ear is cleaned at a time. Also, the massage of the face and neck can not be done when doing both ears so my answer will remain a “NO” to this question.

11. Are there people who should not be candled?

Yes. People who have had recent ear, nose, throat, or sinus surgery of any kind, have tubes in their ears or experience any bleeding. Bleeding denotes serious ear problems such as a punctured ear drum and should always be referred to a Doctor.
