Inner ear infection is one of the top reasons for hospital admittance in children. Often candling has been used as a last effort for treating chronic ear infections and to avoid ear tubal placement. As well as treating the ear, candling can work on the sinus and lymph system, removing impurities there as well. Because of all the intricate crevices in the ear, unbelievable amounts of debris can accumulate. This buildup creates a breeding ground for problems, and can also interfere with correct hearing.
Impacted wax can build up against ear ducts and can also block reception of incoming sound waves.
This lifetime accumulation may explain some of the hearing problems we develop as we age. It is important to discuss candling with your health practitioner and always use common sense. Candling is not a replacement for proper health care, but can be an effect home remedy. Candling should not be done on a person who has a perforated eardrum or similar problems. Candling is quite simple and is done with a partner.
