Ear candles are a clearing therapy and are used very successfully for many problems associated with the ears and the head area. The lymph system and metabolism can be influenced by this intensive, pleasant and completely painless method of operation.

The process involves the use of a hollow candle with the narrow end held gently onto the edge of the ear. The flame creates a relative vacuum in the ear which draws out poisons, old wax, residues of past infection and fungus.

Ear candling may obtain beneficial results in the following cases:

• Fungal problems
• Nose bleeding problems
• Sinusitis
• Congestion
• Removal of ear wax
• Swim ear
• Foggy head
• Before taking a flight
• Ear/Headaches
• TMJ
• Allergies
• Toxic residue from medications
• Ideal relaxation treatment for stress or anxiety related symptoms
• Softens earwax for easy removal

History on Ear Candling

Historical roots of the ear candling (or ear cones) can be found among the peoples of the Siberian prairies, Asia and the native North and South American Indians, including the Hopi Indians. Ancient rock paintings show the use of Ear candles at initiation rituals and medicinal ceremonies.

The Hopi, the oldest Pueblo people, had great medicinal knowledge and a high degree of spirituality, using the candles in ceremonies and as part of their hygiene process. It is believed that many cultures used Ear Candling as a practice for clearing the mind and senses. They claimed it cleared the mind and body so you could meditate and open up your sensitivity.

The candles

I only use The Biosun Hopi Ear candles. The Original Biosun Hopi Ear candle is a truly safe and natural product. Made in Germany according to the traditional Hopi Indian recipe, the ingredients include pure beeswax, precious honey extracts and organic cotton. These are combined with powdered Indian medicinal herbs, such as Sage, St. John's Wort and Chamomile, well known for their healing properties.

Biosun Ear candles are safe because they contain the exclusive cross-shaped barrier which prevents any liquid wax or excess condensate from entering the ear. The herbs in Biosun Ear candles have been used for centuries for their specific healing qualities. Chamomile as an anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic sedative. Sage as a carminative, astringent and circulatory stimulant which relaxes peripheral blood vessels. St. John's Wort, as a restorative tonic for the nervous system and an analgesic. All these in combination are very effective in the treatment of head and ear related problems.

How it works

The healing properties of ear candles has its foundation in two primary physical conditions. Firstly, the slight vacuum (the chimney effect) inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote drainage of the frontal and paranasal sinuses. This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating ear pressure. Users of ear candles describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area. Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates and invigorates local circulation, and reinforces the flow of lymph. At the same time, important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.

Biosun Ear candles have obtained the prestigious CE mark (93/42-EEC) for medical devices in Europe. No other ear candle in the world has this extraordinary level of certification. Biosun Hopi Ear candles are crafted in Germany from the highest quality ingredients and are regulary tested at an independent laboratory in Germany. They have been shown to be free of all chemical pesticides and fungicide residues. No other ear candle worldwide is tested in this way. For more information visit the biosun website.
