WHAT'S THE STORY ON EAR CANDLING IN LONGMONT?

You may have heard of a practice called ear candling in Longmont. It involves placing a thin wax tube into the ear and lighting the end that is facing outward. What's the point of this?

​

The first thing to know is that the wax from this "ear candle" is not meant to end up in the ear. Instead, it's the heat from the flame that is responsible for any action that takes place. That flame is to be kept safely away from the user's ear, hair, and other body parts.

​

With that cleared up, it's time to get into the benefits of ear candling in Loveland. The usual purpose of this practice is to heat up ear wax so that it will be drawn up the hollow inner part of the tube. This, as you might guess, will help clean the ears and improve hearing that had been blocked by ear wax.

​

As time has gone on, more benefits have been attributed to ear candling in Loveland. Some say it helps to cure ear infections, while others claim that they have seen benefits like sinus infection relief, headache relief, and relief from the symptoms of colds and flus. However, as with most other forms of alternative medicine, there are some who say they did not see any of these things.

​

Because of the varying reports, there is really only one way to know if ear candling in Longmont will work for you, and that is to try it. However, you shouldn't just buy some fresh ear candles and go at it. It turns out that there are some good reasons for going to an experienced practitioner instead.

​

The main risk of ear candling is being burned, as the presence of an open flame should suggest. One of the big reasons you should go to a pro in ear candling in Boulder is that you won't have to try to get a flaming stick of wax into position while you're laying on your side! Instead, you can lay there calmly as the practitioner inserts the candle from the proper angle. The next reason is to help ensure that wax doesn't end up down your ear canal. A proper practitioner will put a shield over your ear to help prevent this problem.

​

The practitioner of ear candling in Boulder will be right there to tend the flame, re-open the ear candle when it seals up, and put out the fire when the time comes. Finally, the pro knows how far to insert the candle so that it is effective, yet does not risk damage to your eardrum.
