The purpose of candling is to remove wax buildup, especially the heavy impacted wax that normal cleaning cannot remove. Candling is also believed to remove candida, yeasts, fungus, and remnants of past infections and can help with the sinuses and lymph system. Because of all the intricate crevices in the ear, unbelievable amounts of debris can accumulate. This buildup creates a breeding ground for problems, and can also interfere with correct hearing. Impacted wax can build up against ear ducts and can also block reception of incoming sound waves.

Conditions that may benefit from ear candling: headaches, ringing in the ears, migraines, ear infections, plugged ears, chronic sinusitis, TMJ dysfunction, hearing challenges, imbalance, excessive wax, inner ear pressure, ear aches.
