How to use ear candles
Ear candles are anything between 15cm - 25cm long and
have a burning time of 10-12 minutes. Ear candles need to be
lit to function and continue to burn through the treatment.
Beware of the fire hazard!
For safety reasons do not carry out the treatment by
yourself. It should always be done by a second person. This
will ensure your safety during the treatment and enables a
considerably deeper relaxation. Before you start, always
place a glass of water within reach in order to extinguish
the Ear candle.
Preparation:
Create a relaxed atmosphere before you start. Relaxation
music and essential oils are a good way to achieve this. You
will experience ear candling much more intensely if you keep
your eyes closed.
Keep yourself warm with a blanket. Lie down on one side
in a comfortable position. Support your head with a pillow
so that the auditory canal is in a vertical position. The
room should be draught-free, so the flame will burn
smoothly. Draught in the room while the Ear candle is alight
can result in small, cold ash particles blowing off the Ear
candle. In order to protect your hair and clothing, your
partner can place a cover around the treatment area.
Lighting: When preparations are complete, your partner
sits comfortably next to you. He/She should light the Ear
candle at the unlabeled end and place the non-burning end
gently into the outer ear passage. A light turning movement
should be applied until the Earcandle is sealed in place.
The Ear candle is placed properly when you hear the pleasant
crackling and hissing of the flame. Your partner will hold
the Ear candle firmly in place throughout the process.
He/She will take care that no hair is within reach of the
flame.
Burning down: With straight sided ear candles the end
opposite the filter is inserted into the ear. With Natural
Ear candles the pointed end goes in the ear.
At the most, the Ear candle may be burnt down to 1 cm
above the (maximum burn) marking, or about 2/3 of the way
down the candle for natural ear candles. Carefully remove
the remainder of the Ear candle and extinguish it in the
glass of water nearby.
Any condensation material that remains attached to the
fine ear hairs should be gently removed.
Subsequent rest: A subsequent rest of about 15 - 30
minutes will positively support the overall result. Continue
to enjoy soft relaxation music and/or the smell of aromatic
essences during this phase as well.
Storage: Please always store Ear candles in the airtight
bag in a dry and cool place. Kept in the correct conditions
ear candles have a shelf life of at least 5 years.
