TINNITUS/ear candles

[Guest guest]

Dear Sue...

 

Not sure I understand why you blew the flame out. When I use them I

light the wide end and hold my finger over the opening on the small

end... Just enough to get a vaccuum and then flow going... Then

put small end into my ear canal, adjusting it so it feels snug, and

you can hear the flames and crackles... Let burn down, best if you

have someone else doing it so they can massage sinus passages to

help the process. At some point the linen part of the burnt candle

is going to flop over cutting off air flow, making the process slow

down. Take candle out, cut off " dead " part, put finger over small

opening, again establishing a flow, and reinsert into ear... I let

it go to about an inch or so from my hair/head. If you let it go

too far there is a risk of the hot wax falling back into the ear

canal, not a good thing...

 

Now to address Carol's concern:

From what I have seen come out of my ears, and the clients that I

have candled, I don't think it is just coming from the candle...

What might be an interesting experiement is to have your ears

candled, so you know what it looks like, and then take an ear candle

and just let it burn down by itself, unused if you will, so you can

compare...

 

Best Wishes,
