How does Ear Candling work?

0

According to proponents, the heat produced by the burning candle generates a vacuum within the ear canal. This helps pull out the toxins and dirt from the inner ear and the sinuses – areas that are usually inaccessible to unless surgery is performed. At the end of the session, patients get to see the debris from their ear. This consists of ear wax, toxins and candle ash. Proponents claim that the debris also contains fungus and other waste products within the ear. The origins of ear candling are obscure, though proponents trace it to practices in ancient Egypt, Tibet and China. Enthusiasts of this technique firmly believe that ear candling helps: – Relieves ear aches by cleansing the ear canals and regulating the pressure within the ears – Helps cure and prevent further occurrence of sinusitis, tinnitus. – Helps cure the auricular zone – Relieve pain, strengthen the mind and purify the mind.

A. As the candle burns, smoke moves the debris out of the ear. Osmosis (diffusion through a semi- permeable membrane, e.g., skin) plays an important role as the smoke soothes the sinus and nasal cavities. Excess ear wax is moved through the ear canal into the cone.
