How does an ear candle work?
Ear candling is a simple, natural remedy that can be applied at home. During the burning of an ear candle fitted into the entrance of the external auditory canal, a vibrating, swinging column of warm air is created in the 'tube' formed by the ear candle and the ear canal. This vibrating, periodically changing pressure air column 'massages' the very sensitive eardrum and through it the complete anatomical structure of our hearing. The vibration frequency is lower than the audible range. According to centuries-old experience, this vibration, different from audible sounds, can have a beneficial effect on our hearing system and also stimulate ear acupuncture points that are otherwise very difficult to reach. The vibrational effect may improve circulation, relieve complaints related to the ear and sinus cavities. The soothing, relaxing experience of ear candling can contribute to alleviating stressful symptoms, relaxation, and recreation. Of course, this vibrating, swinging warm air column does not draw anything from the ear canal. However, properly done ear candling treatment can loosen earwax, which usually empties itself, rolls out of the ear within one to two days after treatment (e.g. during the night, while sleeping). Application recommendation:
In case of any complaints, we recommend trying ear candling a few times. If there is no improvement after three treatments, ear candling will not provide a solution to the problem, and it is not worth trying further.
Ear candles designed for children are specifically tailored for kids. Naturhelix children's ear candle comes in three different scents (chamomile, propolis, eucalyptus), burns for a shorter time, and its diameter is adjusted to fit children's ear size. However, we only recommend the use of ear candles in children who are able to lie down calmly during treatment and understand that they should not touch the candle during the session. We do not recommend ear candling for children under three years of age.
Using ear candles can alleviate symptoms in the following cases based on long-term use and experiences:
- The application of ear candles has a soothing effect on both children and adults; it promotes stress relief and helps with relaxation.
- Ear candling stimulates acupuncture points located in the ear canal that are not otherwise accessible.
- To relieve mild ear discomfort, earache, ear itching, and symptoms of external otitis.
- Relief of symptoms of colds, allergic rhinitis, flu-like symptoms.
- To relieve the symptoms of sinusitis and sinus infection.
- To relieve symptoms of pressure problems in the ear during flight.
- To remove a trapped "water plug" in the ear canal after water sports, swimming, or bathing.
- A large group of users also recommends it for relieving migraine symptoms.
- As a relaxation tool, in addition to cosmetic and other massages.
- Can help to mitigate dusty, noisy work environment effects.
- To prevent the formation of earwax plugs in case of excessive earwax production.
Important: Ear candles cannot loosen hardened, impacted, or extremely large amounts of earwax. The removal of these formulae is the sole responsibility of a medical specialist. After removal, regular ear candling may help prevent re-accumulation.
