Are you refering the wax from the ear while it is still in the ear, or the wax from the " ear " after the candling? Morton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi ALL I know some people dismiss ear candling but it has been used for many years especially by the Hopi Tribes whom I believe were renowned for healing. I know they can help with wax but I would have said more for congestion caused by sinus problems and cataarh than actual wax. I have also read several reports where they were used for glue ear in children saving an operation. As with most alternate treatments it may not be a " quick fix " and several treatments may be necessary.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 I perform Ear Candling in my practice. I have found White Egret to be the best quality supplier of candles and education. I use two barrier methods to ensure safety. (wax coated paper plate and flame resistant cloth). What do you charge in your practice for the procedure? I was charging $35 for one hour, which is a total of 4 candles, 2 in each ear. My training allows a max of 2 per ear per session. Anyway, I just raised my price to $48 and wonder if it's too high?!? I had to buy additional liability insurance to cover this procedure and the $35 would no longer cut it. My supplier told me that they had heard prices as low as $25 and as high as $85.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I know someone with " deformed " ear-canals -- they make a sharp turn, and ever since he was a child, he's had to go to the doctor every few years and have his ears scraped of wax, which he claims is really painful (I believe it!). Does anybody think candling might work for this? Thanks, S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I've used ear candles on our family a number of times. Candling works by creating a vacuum and pulling the wax up inside the hollow of the candle. One reason one would get a LOT of wax in their ears is due to allergies.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 We use ear candles at least once a year!!! My husband and I both have bad allergies and during wheat harvest (live in ks) it's even worse. I always feel like it helps the sinuses too. Make sure you get the soy or beeswax candles though. A Lot of people don't realize just how bad paraffin is even to breathe the emissions! 11 documented toxins and doesn't even meet the EPA guidelines for outdoor air. So go with the natural wax ear candles they are as readily available as the paraffin but are usually a couple dollars more. Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
