It is best defined as the use of an ear candle which is a beeswax or paraffin wax coated cloth that is shaped into a conical cylinder about 10” to 15” in length with varying widths. Ear Candling is a therapeutic relaxation technique similar to acupressure, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. The benefits of Ear Candling include feelings of total relaxation. When the body reaches this state, many positive health benefits result. The parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated leading to lowered heart and respiratory rates and increases peristalsis in the digestive system. This state of relaxation produces positive healing chemicals in the body and is an antidote to the harmful chemicals produced when the body is under constant stress. There is a lot of anecdotal evidence showing the positive effects of ear candling and hopefully more empirical evidence will become available as complementary and alternative therapists are encouraged to carry out research in the course of their work.
