Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi, I have used ear candles on my daughter Laura when she was 5yrs old (she is now 6.5yrs old). Laura used to get a really bad build up of wax causing discomfort and I even had to have them syringed out by the doctor at one stage!!! I used the candles only once and they were fantastic - haven't had a problem since and when she had it done (I did it myself) her whole energy changed - she was calmer and felt really peaceful.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've tried it, but it didn't do much for me. But I was doing it on myself, and when I spoke to a lady who makes and sells ear candles I was told that it's really best if someone does it for you. She has done candling on thousands of ears, and has seen remarkable things happen with continuos ear candling, such as tinnitus going away or going way down in volume and even a few people getting their hearing back. But--this was because of very deep wax and took many months of candling weekly before this happened. Samala Renee ---- Has anyone here ever used an ear candle for an ear ache?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 LOTS of times for a variety of reasons. Always keep some olive oil near by to sooth and provide the correct bio-envirionment afterwards. Great thing to do, some work better than others, but all are better than saline (warm water) process.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 In my massage practice, I have done many,many ear candlings. I have had rave reviews on my clients ears and sinuses. I have gotten hardened wax pebbles out, wax so thick it looked like peanut butter, gnats, lint, etc. I employ a method that uses MLD or sinus massage to accentuate the movement of fluid. My fear that some of the residue was itself forming in the middle of the candle, giving the enhanced appearance of cleansing. The one day a client of mine brought her 84 year old mother into the clinic for the treatment. I suggest a double session initially and she had signed up for that length. Well, daughter came in...mother in tow insisting to her that she would benefit. The mother protested that " I am 84 years old and have never even used a q-tip! Now why would I need this? " The daughter finally sated her by telling her that she could at least relax. Upon completion of the procedure, I cut open the candles to find a pristine muslin cloth, with absolutely NO wax, residue or the slightest hint that it had been burned. I felt reassured after that, and my conscience is clear in performing and recommending the procedure. There are all kinds of candles available from many sources and it is best to have someone do it, preferably someone trained or at least experienced. The doctors think it is bunk, but they stand not to gain by endorsing it. Light those candles folks! Safe, effective and relaxing. Jeannette <jenetty4 wrote: Thanks for all the great responses.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Be sure to get Bees wax ear candles and not the other kind of paraffin wax ones.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 ear candles totally rock! i have been having it done for over 35 years and i personally have been doing it for over a dozen years. basically the candle is made out of cheescloth type fabric formed into a cone like shape and then dipped in bee's wax. it is best to find candles that are made locally as there will be natural antihistamines in the bees wax. how it works - the smoke from the candle creates a vacuum that pulls the wax, pollen and old dried up infection from the ear. the ear, sinuses, nose, eyes and throat are all connected so ear candeling will help all of these areas. i have done it for dental problems also. the patient lies on their side. place a fireproof cloth on their head and around the ear area. the open end of the candle is lit (a flame will be going the whole time - so be careful!) and the cone end of the candle is inserted into the ear at a 45 degree angle. this is very important so the wax does not go back into the ear canal. as the candle burns, clip the ashes with scissors into a bowl of water. do not remove the candle from the ear. continue this until the candle has burned down to a length of about 4 inches. remove the candle and extinguish the burning end in the water. usually i will do two candles per ear and if the patient is having a lot of problems i may do three. afterwards, gently take a qtip and clean the outer ear and opening of ear canal. DO NOT insert qtip into the ear. some people like to put a drop or two of oil in the ear, but personally i think it feels really gross. speaking of really gross - now comes the fun part! using scissors starting at the burnt end of the candle, carefully (i suggest doing this on a paper plate) cut all the way to the cone end. you will see the wax, pollen, old dried up infection. this is how i determine whether the person needs 1, 2 or 3 candles - the amount of stuff in the candle. the patient will hear a snap/crackle/popping sound while the candle is burning. this is a good sign. it also helps if you can do facial massage before during and after each candle. when you are done, they will feel a reduction in the pressure in their ears, sinuses, etc. the next day they will feel even better. i advise not getting water in the ear for 24 hours. ear candeling is amazing and has been around for centuries. i recommend everyone do this at least once every few months. p.s. i had this done recently to help with the infection due to dental issues. the next morning the swelling in my lymph nodes, cheek, jaw and eye had gone down significantly. have a wonderful day! happy thoughts of love, peace and light annie Want to start your own business?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 is that the technigue of causing the ear to turn loose what ever causes the pain my sister used to use a sheet of newspaper to do that she would roll it into a cone stick the small end into her ear and thelight the large cone end poof it would ignite what ever it pulled out of her ear. I was always facinated by this as I was just a kid of all of 9 or so LOL --- Jeannette <jenetty4 wrote: > Great!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi, Its Lynn, this is a stupid question, but what do they look like? and where is the flame....etc. I don't quite understand and I have ear problems (infections) that caused my partial deafness. Does anyone have a pic??? Thank you Lynn blue_texasgal Caroline <Alwaysnaturallygreat wrote: Hi, I purchased my " Hopi Ear Candles " from the health food shop. This is taken from the brochure: From a physical point of view, a distinction can be made between the following active phases: slight underpressure (the chimney effect) inside the Ear candle and a vibration of the rising air column throught the natural movement of the flame serve to gently massage the ear drum. This has an immediate subjective effect of the regualting ear pressure. Users spontaneously describe a soothing, liberating, kight sensation in the ear/head area. Whilst the candle is burning the pleasant heat sensation is intensified. Locally administered heat stimulate the Peripheral blood circulation, thus intensifying the immunological defence system and strengthens the cleansing circulation of the lymph glands. It also stimulates energy point and reflex zones. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I tried my ear candle yesterday. Unfortunately, I had to do it by myself. Everyone I knew thought I was crazy for trying it out. But I've been having a lot of problems with my ears feeling achy and my sinuses that I didn't want to mess around anymore. I had to give it a try all by myself. It didn't work too badly. I got a standing mirror and laid down on our couch so I could see what I was doing. I followed the instructions to a T. How wild!! For a first timer, it's really strange to see this flame basically coming out of my head. LOL... , " Jeannette " <jenetty4 wrote: > > Has anyone here ever used an ear candle for an ear ache?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 What I learned from the ear candle lady--you want to hear a popping or sizzle in your ear when the candle is in place. This lets you know you have it in the right position. If you don't hear the noise then it's not going to work properly. Once it's in this position you want to tilt it a bit away from your head so that it doesn't drip wax back into your ear, and isn't going to drop any of the burnt end of the candle on your hair or skin. You still want to hear the noise, but you should be able to kind of point the end of the candle and still hear the noise. Also, if you can get someone to help you with it, have them rub all around the front of your ear while candling as this helps the loosen the wax and is very relaxing. Usually it s 3 candles in a row as a treatment. Good luck. Samala, Renee ---- It didn't work too badly. I got a standing mirror and laid down on our Couch so I could see what I was doing.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah, I was able to get it to do what it was supposed to do. I protected my head with a plate, as suggested in the instructions I received from the health food store. I was also able to massage around my ear as I held onto the candle with my other hand. I definitely got the popping and sizzle noises going on and there was a lot of wax inside the cone when I finished.
