Product Description
Have a bowl of water close at hand, scissors, matches (or a lighter), a toothpick, and a paper plate, or metal pie tin. 1. Place the subject in a comfortable position on their side. 2. Cut a small hole in the paper plate, or pie tin, (This will serve to catch any wax, should some drip from the outside of the candle). 3. Insert the candle through the hole in the plate. Light the large end of the candle, and place the small end firmly seated in the ear canal. If smoke is escaping from the small end, please seat the candle again. During the process, please hold the candle at a slight angle from perpendicular (at least 20 degrees). This will keep any melting wax that runs down the inside of the candle from depositing in the ear. Any melting wax will harden before it reaches the tip. This will also slow the small end of the candle from becoming stopped with wax, and residue, during the procedure, providing maximum benefit. 4. After the first 2 minutes, remove the candle from the ear, and clean out the tip with a toothpick. This will keep smoke flowing into the ear canal. Note: if it is more comfortable, you may hold the candle in a straight up and down position. 5. Remove the candle from the ear about every 3 minutes. Check to see that the tip is open, and trim off the burned portion of the candle into the bowl of water with a sharp pair of scissors. Do not trim away so much that the flame is extinguished. (This will provide maximum injection of the smoke throughout the process. ) 6. Let the candle burn down to no closer than 3 from the end. Extinguish the burning end in the bowl of water, and dispose of it in a safe manner. The session is complete, unless you want to candle the other ear. If so, repeat all steps.
Customer Reviews
(The following information is taken from the manufacturer's website:) (2007-06-25)  'For centuries, many cultures have known that injection of smoke into the ear canal relieves earache pain, softens impacted ear wax (allowing the wax to do what it does best...make it's own way out of the ear), and can offer excellent relief of pressure in the sinuses.From the beginning, we began to have amazing reports from customers that had suffered for years with head-related problems. Many of our customers report that after one or two treatments, their sinuses begin to break loose, and their heads feel clear for the first time in ages. Sinus headaches can disappear instantly. We have numerous reports from customers of instant relief from earache pain...dizziness...vertigo, etc. There is a prominent theory that ear candling may aid the body in the production of the tiny crystals within the inner ear. These crystals are what tells our brain whether we are lying, standing, seated, or bending. These crystals help keep us in balance. Some of the most dramatic reports that we have had concern much help our customers have received with imbalance problems.Ear candles are being used by many alternative health practitioners to treat what is commonly known today as ADD. We are hearing good results from customers who have begun this treatment experimentally with children, instead of using the commonly prescribed drugs, which may have many ill side effects. How can ear candles possibly help alleviate the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder? We have our theories, which relate to the relaxing process itself, but frankly, we do not know. The jury is still out (with a long deliberation ahead) as to whether ear candling may be beneficial in the treatment of ADD, and ADHD. We will make no specific claims that you will receive relief of your symptoms. However, our ear candles are an inexpensive remedy to try. Thousands of people have been helped by using our ear candles.An Ear Candling Session is extremely relaxing and entertaining. We all lead stressful lives. 30 minutes of being still, listening to the candle burn, feeling the warmth of the smoke, is an extremely pleasant experience. Ear Candles are great...if for this reason only.'
Request for information/ enlightenment (2007-05-29)  Can someone please enlighten me as to why any sensible human being would volunteer to allow their head to be used as a novelty candlestick? I assume from the helpful instructions that the aim is to get as much smoke into the ear as possible. surely in this age of banning smoking from public areas this is somewhat contrary to medical advice. Or is there an underground movement of candlestickers furtively dripping away in run-down tenament blocks? Is it advisable that this product can be used by the elderly or infirm? I was considering a "wellness" product for my Granny, when I happened across this interesting little number. The decision-making process over this option was a short one - she suffers from Alzheimers. Do these come with the pie tins (detailed in instructions above) as I am not sure that they get these where Granny lives? Don't they heat up? Have there been any reports of injuries? Can you imagine explaining this to the nurse at emergency? Could you use mincepie tins as a substitute - Business traveller mobile version?Surely we spend most of our lives trying to remove wax from our lugs, yet someone is actually making money from getting us to reinsert wax ( and not even our own - some insect has spent months crafting a hive only to have it highjacked for the lastest trend). I am seriously investigating the medical benefits of toe-nail clippings acupuncture on one's eyebrows as a method of stimulating original thought. Any sponsors?Good luck to those of you more adventurous than me or my Granny. Email is a great medium for the Deaf. I am intrigued and would be grateful for the detail of the benefits. Oh, yes the first line of the instructions reads "Have a a bowl of water close at hand" - wonderful. Yours in awe - Phil McCaverty
