Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 smoke means there is not a good seal around the candle itself, in the ear. You will get a little bit of smoke seeping, but you should ensure a close fit to prevent this. The best way to do this, is if your candle is tapered, and you're dealing with a larger ear, to cut off the taper a bit, so it fits snugly but does NOT shove down on the inner ear. If this is not applicable (you said your kids had the smoke problem?), you can also make a close ring of tape around the candle, blocking the smoke from the outside of the candle. You won't get to the tape, because you shouldn't burn down that far. --- Chestnut <chestnutt@...> wrote: > Those of you who candle I need some help.

It is more than wax, it is some form or forms of toxins, that when burned, turn to a powder. I tend to believe this, because in mine, there are three different colors of powdery stuff. If it was just burned wax, it would all be the same color. Ear candling feels wonderful, by the way, for anyone who might be thinking about it. It relates to the bowel cleanse group, somewhat, because it does cleanse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 I'll have to say the cloth ear candles seem to be better and you may well be right about the toxic stuff in the powder. I get impatience doing those candles and I get a kick out of showing my friends the wax that comes out of the paper ones. One gal told me before I started that her ears were very clean and I wouldn't get much out of them. lol The joke was on her!! Raji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Rogene, you got it -- heat & updraft. That's the best way I've heard to describe it. With candling, one session is usually not enought. To completely clean out the canals, it usually takes 3 or 4 treatments, and the person doing it should do a balancing treatment, so a person is not left " unsymmetrical " for lack of a better word.

I've had one ear that has given me problems for years . .. That ear reacted from one candling session - but not another. > > I don't understand the dynamics . . . heat and updraft are the only things that come to mind. > > Rogene > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Does anyone know how often you can do ear candling? A friend insists that is shouldn't be done more than every three months. Thanks from Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
