Ear candle
Ear candle, is an alternative remedy that some people use to draw out impurities and wax from the inner ear.
The ear candling process is intended to clean the ears by unclogging earwax build-up and loosening or drawing out impurities from the ear canal with warm air and smoke. The candle is actually a hollow cone made from strips of cloth and beeswax. The smaller end of this cone is inserted inside the ear. The larger opening of the cone is lit with a match or lighter to create a flame.
Some of the other proposed benefits of ear candling include:
- removing wax, bacteria, and other debris from the ear canal
- treating sinus infections
- improving hearing or reversing hearing loss
- relieving sore throats
- relieving headaches and migraines
- improving mental clarity
- improving lymphatic circulation
- clearing the eyes and improving vision
- reducing pain related to jaw aches and temporomandibular disorders
- reducing vertigo
