Ear Candling should not be performed on people who have ear tubes, perforated eardrums, or artificial eardrums. Initially, most people need just 2 or 3 sessions to get their ears clean. Once your ears are clean, personal preference should determine how often you ear candle for maintenance...probably every three to six months would be practical.

We believe Ear Candling can have many positive benefits for you; however, you must be the ultimate judge in determining if this time-honored practice will be beneficial to you.

Ear Wax:
The purpose of ear wax is to protect the ear from cold, viruses and other organisms. However, an overabundance of ear wax may lead to blockages, swelling of the pores, creating other blockages within by not allowing the rest of the wax to flow through the pores normally. This will allow infestations of organisms into the pores, eventually leading to conditions such as the common head cold.

The debris that is drawn out of the ear into the ear cone will be a powdery substance. The powder substance is earwax and other debris. The lightweight powder is drawn toward the flame of the candle and accumulates at the sides of the candles and is blended with the beeswax of the candle itself. The heavy powder has body fluids and moisture attached. This substance is too heavy to be drawn toward the flame. It coagulates and is found clumped together and rests at the base of the cone. The debris drawn from the ear will have the color similar to bee's wax and some of the powdery material will have a range of colors. If the wax has a blue color, it may be related to medication. As the medication decomposes it will change colors, therefore changing from blue to light blue, then to white. Infection has the appearance of olive drab, and when it decomposes, it becomes gray. Candia has the look of white in color. The solid pieces will also have various hues of color, with the appearances from creamy yellow, orange, beige, dark walnut, to black shoe polish. The darker the color, the older the wax. The wax, when in a normal state, should have appearance of a creamy toffee in color. Earwax will also release a strong pungent smell.
