Ear Candling @ Buena Salon, Spa & Cafe

    Ear Candling, also called ear coning or thermal-auricular therapy, is an alternative medicine practice claimed to improve general health and well-being and is being offered in Buena Salon, Spa & Cafe. It is a therapeutic relaxation technique similar to acupressure, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. It involves inserting a long, cylindrical candle made from fabric coated with beeswax, into the ear and lighting it on the other end. Most ear candles are about a foot in length.

     Earcandling is a matter of personal choice and the reasons people use them are as varied as people themselves. What is known is that the majority of people who use them have not only enjoyed the experience but have recommended it to a friend.

     Ear candles are not designed to remove anything from your body except tension, negative energy, stress, and anxiety. These candles work to aid the body in its natural healing process. The ear candles work to soften the built up earwax in the ear but the wax you find at the bottom of the candle afterwards is not earwax.

     Ear candles are used to promote healing, relieve stress, and to release blocked energy. They aid the body to heal itself by depositing a thin layer of wax over the skin of the outer ear canal. This not only softens the earwax that is already in the ears, it chokes the pores and causes the body to produce oils that move the foreign material out of the ear. This process will happen over the next few days after the ear candling procedure while sleeping or in the shower or when cleaning ears with a wipe or washcloth. Using cotton swabs to clean the ears pushes the wax back into the ear canal and defeats the purpose of using ear candles.

Important Ear Candling Notes:

·   Proponents of ear candling suggest a session once every three (3) months.

·   If the ears feel dry after cleansing, moisturize the skin using a few drops of warm oil 
    applied with wipe.

·   Ear candling is not a cure-all. While effective in many cases, it is best to be seen first by 
    an EENT doctor if you are experiencing specific medical problems.

·   Ear candling is not recommended for:

    1) People who have a hole in their eardrum.

    2) If you’ve had tubes in your eardrums (Can be checked to see if they have healed shut 
        before candling).

    3) If you have difficulty breathing where small amounts of smoke is a threat. 
        (ex. emphysema, etc.)

·   Excessive use is not wise or recommended.
