ear candling or ear coning?

has anyone ever had this done?

i'm kind of interested in having this done......

 

What is that? I've never heard of it

just one of the many brief summaries of ear candling.....

here's another description of the process......

 

my ears are candles

 

i watched my friend do it...he just put it in his ear while laying on his side and we lit it...it was gross all the crap that was inside it when it was done burning

 

Yes, I have, and I'm a firm believer in it. When you are finished, you can unravel the ear candle & see proof of all the wax & pollen that just got sucked out of your ear. Plus, you can hear better!

 

no... i've never had it done, but i'm interested in it too. i saw do-it-yourself candling kits at the health food store the other day; i might pick one up next time.

 

right on.....i think i just may have it done.......

 

So happy to see this on here. Have used this process for several years on
both young and old. What a difference this makes. You can hear the
difference and even feel how it effects your equalibrium too. Have
purchase them at new age events, online, and in a healthfood store.
The last time I got them from the healthfood store I even found that
they are producing them in children's size. What an enormous help
for the little ones who are suffering from ear infections. Even though
this is a natural way to go still be cautious. I did them for a friend
of mine with an ear infection and we had to stop because she felt
a burning sensation part way through. So it also depends on the
individual who is using them. Good luck!

what's the price range? either for buying it and doing it yourself, or going to have it done?

 

it works good. hopefully you can find a candle for under 4 bux, and you need one for each ear. it helps to have someone else hold the candle, and you have to be careful not to let any ash fall in your ear. i need to do it badly but i never have anyone to hold the candle for me. i did it to my self once but you really cant see what your doing.

 

i'm so happy to be getting all this feedback from everyone.....

definetly going to go check out the natural foods place again tomorrow to see if they have the candles.....

 

maybe i'll pick some up at the market in a couple of days. on one of those sites posted earlier it said that you put the narrow end in your ear and light the other end, protecting the face and head with a towel and put a bit of aluminum around the candle so wax or ash doesn't drip down. judging from some of the responses on here it sounds like a good idea.

 

I'm interested in doing it, but probably won't because I know that SOME way, I will end up getting hurt. It happens regardless of how careful I am.

 

It is a good idea for healthy ears. But don't use it when you have an ear infection, or in a child who has ear tubes. The "candle" (Actually a wax tube) generates a lot of suction, and can rupture and ear drum that is infected or damage an eardrum that has a vent tube in it.

 

oh and for price range I know we sell beeswax ones where I work for $2.99 each and most often you should use two per ear~~ I don't know if I quite believe in em or not~~ tried to do it to my bf once and it didn't really do anything, I don't think what was in the cone afterwards was from his ear.... But everyone who comes to buy them at my store/my boss love them and claim they really work~ i dunno

 

I've been useing ear candles for about ten yrs. A friend of mine, Stevie Macormic, makes them, she is J & J Sevices, I worked for her as an Iridologest in her herb shop several yrs ago. They are made out of linnen and parafian and beeswax.

The purpose of the candles are to soften the ear wax and the warmth of the smoke draws out the candida.

To do an ear candleing you need a towel, a paper plate a pair of sissors and a bowl of water. And of course an ear and a candle.
First you cut a hole in the center of the plate to fit the candle snugly in. Stick the candle in so it comes through on the back side of the paper plate about three inches.
Place the towel around your ear, so that your hair and skin are covered. Laying on their side place the candle in the ear. When the candle is secure in the ear, light the candle.
While the candle is burning you start the sinus maggage. Placing your two fingers under the cheek bone and with a light steady pressure pull your fingers back to your ear and then down to your coller bone. With the same two fingers go behind the ear and again pull down to the coller bone. Now do over the eye, just above the eyebrow. pull it to the top of the ear and then down towards the coller bone again. Do this three or four times to get the candida out of the sinuses.
AS your doing the massage, check the candle and snip off the ash with the sisors and put in the bowl of water.. Burn the candle about two inches from the plate and move on the the other ear. It takes about twenty minutes per ear. You may have to do the ear candleing more than once to aquire relief. I've done up to four candles on one ear. One after another for sever clogging/itching.
I've done candlings on old ones, middle aged ones and infants. There are three sizes in candles, large, med, and small. The ear candles cost about two dollars each.
I hope this helps.

I forgot to add. If you use some Olive Oil warmed and dropped in the ear 20 minutes before the candling, you will get better results, also garlic oil is good.
