An ear candle is gently placed in the outer ear canal, and the opposite end is ignited to produce a gentle, soft flow of warmth and smoke into the ear. The candle is burned to about four inches from the ear, then cut, removed, and extinguished in a bowl of water.
The process is very soothing, relaxing and non-invasive, bringing spiritual energy and soothing herbal essences into the ear.
If the interior of the burned candle contains a brown powder, however, this could indicate there was not a good seal around the ear. Another candle should be used, making sure it fits properly, and listening for the crackling sound as the candle burns. At no point should the tip of the candle or the ear become hot to the touch. In fact, the candle should never burn down closer than 4" from the ear.
There should be no discomfort during the procedure or afterward. We suggest people allow a day or two between candling sessions. If you have a serious ear disease, tubes in your ears, eardrum damage or an upper respiratory infection, consult a physician before you attempt this process.
Basic Rules
Always have an assistant perform the process.
Use fresh supplies and work in a clean area.
Use common sense around fire.
Do not insert sharp objects or push anything into the ears.
If anything falls into the ear, stop the procedure and tilt the head to let the material fall out. You can also flush clean water into the ear to rinse out any of this material.
Following these suggestions will help prevent any injury or harm to the ear.
Procedures
Use damp towels or Wally's Head & Shoulder Cover to cover the hair, face and clothing.
The person should sit up (as shown above) during the process.
Use aluminum pie pan with hole for candle, angling the candle about 10 degrees upward.
Light candle, and let smoke and warmth soothe the ear.
As candle burns, cut off the ash into a bowl of water.
During the procedure, you may massage the face in the areas of the sinuses (around the cheek, nose and eye) and along the side of the person's neck.
When candle burns to about 4" in length, carefully remove it from the ear and extinguish the candle in the bowl of water.
You may want more than one candle for each ear.
Use Wally's Ear Oil to further soothe ears after candling.
Wait at least a day between candling sessions.
What Supplies are needed?
The supplies that are needed are Wally's Ear Candles (2-4 per ear), scissors, a small bowl of water, an aluminum pie pan (with a hole cut off-center for the candle to fit through), matches and product package insert with instructions.
