Ear Coning
Ear candling is not a new
alternative therapy. It comes to us from the Chinese, Egyptian, Mayan,
Atlantean, and Tibetan cultures. They have dated ear candles
back as far as 2500 B.C. It was used in
conjunction with other initiation rituals for ecclesiastical
leaders. Ear candling was used to open the spiritual centers and
to clear and cleanse the emotional as well as the physical body.
It was believed to work on the physical body by detoxifying
the sinus, lymphatic, and other systems. It was also believed to
provide clarity of hearing and vision and improvement in the
sense of smell, taste, and color perception as well as emotional
stability and sharper mental functioning.
Ear candles are made from strips of 100% cotton muslin, which
have herbs in the wax. It was believed that the herbs contained
natural antibiotics, decongestants, and balancing properties,
and that they helped to realign subtle energy flows.
Those who use ear candles claim the warm, soothing smoke
that the candle delivers to the ear canal helps dry out fluids
and softens old hardened earwax and stimulates the body's
natural excretion of this wax and waste material bound to the
ear wax. The ear canal may continue to cleanse itself for a day
of more. They say the process is relaxing and often results in a
sense of "clarity" after ear candling.
Some people who have never heard of ear candling often blow
smoke into the ear to relieve symptoms of fever, flu, and even
swimmer's ear, where the smoke helps dry out fluids trapped in
the ear canal. Though originally we thought the ear candle
actually "drew out" earwax through suction, we now realize that
due to FDA regulations we can't say that (cut it open and look
for your self). |
