Q. What is Ear Candling?

Q. How does Ear Candling work?
A. As the candle burns, smoke moves the debris out of the ear. Osmosis (diffusion through a semi- permeable membrane, e.g., skin) plays an important role as the smoke soothes the sinus and nasal cavities. Excess ear wax is moved through the ear canal into the cone.

Q. Is it possible for wax to go back into the ear?
A. The only way this could happen is if the flame reaches the wax that has been pulled into the candle. Although this is highly unlikely, the person assisting should watch the ear candle closely as the flame gets closer to the plate or coverlet and remove the candle if necessary, even if it is two or three inches from the plate. See instructions.
