Find the Right Type of Ear Candles
There are many vocal advocates of ear candling and at least as many naysayers who believe that ear candles do more harm than good. Ear candling is an alternative health technique that utilizes a hollow cone of wax-lined paper, ignited at one end, to draw impurities from the ear. Ear candles are used to improve the immune system, fight sinusitis and remove excess ear wax. Choosing the right types of ear candles can make your experience more pleasant and memorable. Follow these steps to find the right type of ear candles for you.
Instructions
1. Begin by learning a bit about ear candles in general. Visit the "White Egret" Web site for a helpful overview (see Resources below).
2. Consider purchasing a scented type of ear candle. Many ear candles are treated with essential oils that release an aroma once the candles are burned. Tea tree oil, peppermint oil and lavender are popular scents for use in ear candles.
3. Choose your style of coating. Ear candles can be lined with a waxy coating of soy, beeswax or paraffin.
4. Use your ear candles intelligently. Once you purchase your candles at a health store or receive them from an online store, it's important that you use them wisely. Never practice ear candling alone. Always have a partner help you stay safe by burning the candle for you.
