Please read completely before beginning. Exercise extreme caution, use of burning material involved.  An assistant is HIGHLY recommended for safety purposes.

 

DO NOT use the ancient times practice of VERTICAL positioning of the ear candle (parallel with the wall,straight up & down).  

  

Position the Ear Candle HORIZONTALLY (parallel with the floor, side ways)!!! Safe

1. SEAT person UPRIGHT or LIE ON BACK (facing straight ahead), DO NOT LIE ON SIDE. Have bowl or cup of water and scissors handy. Cover persons head /shoulder with towel or head guard to protect against burning of candle.

2. Insert tapered end of candle into the ear canal opening. With persons help, position the candle so that it fits comfortably but snugly into the ear canal opening. Persons head should be slightly tilted in the opposite direction from candle. Person can assist by holding the candle steady as it burns (hold candle between index and middle fingers close to ear), the person assisting should snip ashes into bowl or cup of water to prevent from them from falling on subject or surrounding area.

3. Light the candle. Warmth will now flow into the ear. If smoke is seen at ear end of candle it is not held snug enough. Person being candled is to discern if warmth is too much and to discontinue immediately. When the ash gets to about 2" long snip it off into the bowl of water, preferably without removing the candle from the ear.

4. When the candle has burned down to about 3-4 inches from fingers holding candle, remove it from the ear and extinguish the flame in the water.  Discard remaining candle.

5. Some may want to put a few drops of ear oil at ear opening after candling.  If going outdoors within 24 hours place a protective covering (cotton, etc.) at ear canal opening.
