Ear Candling

Nature’s Link Wellness Center offers ear candling in Breaux Bridge, Lafayette and the entire Acadiana area.

What Is Ear Candling?

Ear cones, or ear candles, are used to rid the ears of earwax buildup and foreign debris in the ears. This procedure, known as ear candling (or ear coning),  has been used in ancient China, Tibet and other countries and is rapidly gaining popularity in the West. At Nature’s Link Wellness Center, we provide ear candling as part of our holistic health services.

Ear candling uses special made hollow candles that are produced by taking fine, natural cotton or muslin, spiraling it on a rod and dipping it into beeswax. When the large end of the candle is lit and the small end is positioned in the ear, the smoke filters into the ear canal, warming the earwax. As the candle burns, oxygen in the ear and candle is absorbed by the flame. The lit candle creates a vacuum that removes wax and/or foreign material from the ear canal and captures it in the stem of the ear cone.

After the procedure is over and the flame is extinguished, the burned candle can be cut open with scissors and the wax and/or debris can be seen. The soft powdery material in the ear cone will be from the cloth used to make the cones, the other material in the ear cone will be a combination of the removed earwax and/or other debris sucked out of the ear and the beeswax used to make the cone.

This is an age-old remedy used by many types of natural health practitioners for centuries, but NO claim has been made for any cure of any disease or ailment.
