A Brief History of Ear Candling
by Cheryl Ashby, C.C.T.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ear Candling is not a new alternative therapy. Dating back to the year 2500
B.C. there is evidence showing that people used and were familiar with the
practice of ear candling. Ancient cultures, including the Egyptians, made
reference to its use. Parchment scrolls discovered in the Orient, also have
described the procedure for ear candling.
This ancient therapeutic art may have been developed with the domestication of
the honeybee. Beeswax was -- and still is -- a key component to making the
hollow cylinders used in the procedure. The principal cloth used by ancient
Egyptians was linen made from flax (the fibers of an annual blue-flowered
plant).
Today, as in times past . . . high-quality, ear candles are handmade from
beeswax and unbleached cotton cloths. These specially fabricated candles are
typically nine (9) to twelve (12) inches long and will burn for approximately
ten minutes.
Through a process called "convection". . . softer waxes and toxins will be
drawn out of the ear, oxidized and turned into vapors during the procedure.
This simple and time-proven therapy can be very effective in removing old and
troublesome blockages from the ear canal, without the use of solutions or
probes. Many people are rediscovering the value of Ear Candling to cleanse the
ear canal and sinus passages.
Ear Candling is a good example of how an almost forgotten
simple and natural therapy, is now being used effectively to solve
many problems associated with the ear.
