What do Ear Candles do?
What do ear candles actually do?
In our Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), we find the parasympathetic state of well-being, which is our body's natural resting state. This state represents our innate sense of balance and health. Unfortunately, due to the demands of modern life, our bodies often remain in the sympathetic state of stress response, commonly known as "fight or flight."
Many people describe ear candling as a deeply relaxing experience. Supporters believe it may help them shift from a stressed state into a calmer, more restful state. Individuals often report:
-
Feeling more relaxed and clear
-
A sense of calm and reduced tension
-
A soothing effect that complements self-care practices
Ear candling does not remove earwax from the ear canal. Many people enjoy it for the gentle warmth, relaxation, and calming atmosphere it creates.
Reflexology and Meridian Pathways
Dr. Quanten wrote a lengthy paper on Ear Candling and its Energetic Healing. Consider that the explanation of everything always leads us back to a conversation about energy. Some people connect ear candling with holistic traditions that emphasize relaxation, energy flow, and mindfulness. In these perspectives, the practice is associated with concepts like reflexology points, chakras, and meridian pathways, which are thought to support a sense of balance and well-being. Hence, there is a high concentration of energy surrounding this important part of the body – our head! Remember, there are:
- Over 60 plus reflexology points in each ear
- 3 Chakras in the head region
- 8 of the 12 meridian pathways start or end in the head region
Our bodies are electromagnetic in nature and our vital force or chi, which is composed of two kinds of forces, yin and yang, flows along a sophisticated network of energy pathways within the body. Some wellness traditions describe the experience as enhancing a sense of energy flow and connection to overall well-being.
