An excessive buildup of ear wax (often in one ear) may be
related to an energy blockage somewhere else in the body on the same side one experiences the wax build up.
There is one specific meridian that gets close to the ear, and Anna Christine Doehring noticed that sometimes her clients had shoulder or hip discomfort on the same side they experienced a higher wax buildup in their ear.
Depending of our lifestyle and profession we might get exposed to more dirt, dust, and pollen which could get into the ear.
There are two ways to remove it – by a high pressure pushing it out (often a rather painful and potentially ear damaging treatment), or by a low pressure vacuum pulling it out, through a rolled up, hollow tube.
Anna Christine prefers the second solution to the cleaning of her inner ear … the process of ear candling. Historically made from reeds, ear candling originated millenia ago in Egyptian and Chinese cultures. In fact the earliest recorded inscriptions show Egyptian healing arts practitioners using ear candles (also called cones).
Nowadays the candles are made from cotton muslin and dipped in beeswax or paraffin. The lit candle creates a flow of smoke and gentle vacuum which draws out impurities and accumulated debris, dust, dirt, and of course, accumulated ear wax.
That’s right – in addition to all the natural wax build up, this congestive debris can cause you great discomfort with ear infections, discomfort and sinus pressure.Cerumen (ear wax) is normal in the ear canal. It is a protective coating for the sensitive ear canal and is a nutural function of the body. However, the excessive buildup of earwax (called Ceruminosis) can reduce our hearing.
The ear candling process is quite painless. What you will experience during a session is some sizzling or light crackling sounds as the candle burns.
But remember, ear candling is not a cure of any disease or ailment, nor should it substitute for orthodox or other holistic therapies. Rather, it will complement and support the biological healling processes that are set in motion by these other methods.
As always, it is recommended that you consult your qualified health professional before embarking on any new therapies.
