Ear candling is a natural way to clear your body's ears, nose and throat. Everyone can benefit - from infants to adults - and it is very effective in relieving earache, ear infections, sore throat, sinus problems, headaches, excess wax, candida, tinnitus, and vertigo. It was first developed by the Egyptians in 5000BC and is now used widely throughout the world as an effective, soothing and painless healing process. Essentially, an ear candle is placed in your ear cavity after the wick is lit. The flame from the candle tube creates a gentle vacuum which draws foreign debris, wax, fungus and other secretions into the hollow part of the candle.
