Ear Candles

Ear candles

Ear candling or ear candle therapy is a very controversial technique; the so-called “therapists” say this is an old treatment learned from the Hopi Indians, but the Hopi Tribal Council rejected all those affirmations and told journalists that the Hopi healing practices don't include any of this medical treatments. They made it clear they don't want to be part of this. This declaration was given in March 1995, but despite all the obstacles, the therapies that involves ear candles are still used and many patients say they felt an improvement in their ears health.

What is the procedure?

Theoretically the procedure involving ear candles clears the affected ear of earwax and any other internal problems by fixing a candle in your ear canal and light it at the other head. The person lies on one side while the candle is kept vertically, the ear candles are usually fixed into a piece of paper to avoid burning the patient with hot wax. The candle will burn until it almost reaches the subject's ear, at a distance of approximately 2 inches. The session will last between 45 minutes and an hour depending on the therapist's decision. This method's adepts sustain that a supposed resulted

vacuum will clean the ear problems, however none of this saying could be scientifically checked.

The burning candle will be extinguished with a dish of water or any similar method, there is also the slight risk of getting burned if a candle without a protection is used. Burns can be inflicted by melting wax or ash. In theory (the “therapists” theory) ear candles have many benefits, they say that even a healthy ear can feel its positive influences. A certain “energy” is supposed to go down from the candle and heal the injured ear. Their explanation is at least pseudo-scientific.

Is anything 100% sure about ear candles?

The use of ear candles is classified by specialists to be a pseudoscience, since many patients felt better after repeated treatments. Skeptics say that ear candles can't possibly pour out anything from the ear, and the slight amelioration some patients feel relates to the auto suggestion technique. Researchers have concluded that this controversial method can do little or no good at all, particularly as it can't melt the ear wax. Regarding the supposed vacuum, there are slight chances for something like that to happen. Better go see a doctor, if you've got ear problems!
