Why I Chose Ear Candling Therapy

I started having a drumming noise in my left ear which was steadily growing worse. There was also some pressure and aching.

About My Ear Candling Session

I was in a craft store and came across the ear candles they had for sale. I purchased 8 of them, along with the instructions. Later that evening, I had my husband candle both of my ears for me. Along with being a very gentle and relaxing experience, I was astounded at the amount of wax that came out of my ears. The wax that came out was NOT from the candle. Ear wax has a distinct odor, and what came out was definitely ear wax. But the best part was that the noise and pressure in my ear was totally gone. The next evening, I candled both my husband's and son's ears.

Advice

  • If done properly, it is an extremely safe, gentle, and natural procedure.
  • I have seen ear irrigation done in the doctor's office, and it is painful and very unpleasant.
  • I will always keep ear candles on hand in my house.
