Ear Candling is a technique that has been around centuries, as far back as biblical times. It involves the use of a hollow candle. The candle is placed on the edge of a person's ear and the other end is lit with a match. The flame creates a relatively gentle vacuum in the ear, which pulls out poisons, old wax, fluids and fungus. Residues of past infections will be gently released into the candle. Residue which is not pulled up into the candle will be broken down and released through the bodies natural processes.
