Instructions
for Use
Have all your items close
to the person. Find a comfortable place for the person being candled to
lie down, making sure all items are easily accessible. Have the person
lie on one side with ear opening level. Place the ear cover cloth, or protector,
over the area being candled and cover hair and skin as completely as possible.
Insert the small end of the candle snugly into the ear, so no vacuum will
escape.
You must create a seal.
Once this has been done, the assistant can light the candle. Help the assistant
adjust the candle to where it feels most comfortable, insuring that no
air leak is coming from the ear opening.
Important:
NEVER HOLD THE CANDLE
STRAIGHT UP! ALWAYS HOLD AT AN ANGLE. As you cut the ash, balance it on
the scissors and place it in the water. Let the candle burn to a comfortable
length, remove from the ear and extinguish it in the water. Repeat process
on the other ear as many times per ear, if necessary. The candle may be
cut open to examine contents, if desired.

Cone Candles--
Stick 'em in your ear_
Ear Cone Candles have
been one of the hottest selling items of the 90's. Unlike the cotton swab,
which pushes ear wax closer to the eardrum and makes it harder to remove--
ear cones are an inexpensive, safe method of removing ear wax.
The ancient
art of candling
The first cone candle was
made by Tibetans along the Tigris River thousands of years ago. The candle
maker dried a reed, placed one side of the hollow cylinder in his ear and
ignited the other end. This was the beginning of the art of candling.
Soon Tibetans, Egyptians,
Mayans and American indians were using cone candles with great results.
Today, more people than eer before are using ear cone candles to clean
debris from their ears.
How do
cone candles work_
Ear cone candling is based
on Burnelli's Law of Airflow, which states that when a hollow cylinder
(cone candle) is heated, air will be drawn into the cylinder at an increased
rate and forced out of the cylinder with greater force. Thus, any loose
material within the cylinder would be forced toward the exit point of the
cylinder.
Ear cone candling creates
a gentle vacuum, painlessly pulling debris from the ear.
What to
look for in a cone
There are hundreds of cone
candles to choose from, make in a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes.
So how do you choose a quality ear cone_
First, look to see if
the cone candle is cylindrical. If a cone candles is very large at one
end and very small at the other end, it reduces effectiveness. most reputable
companies use a cone with a 7/8" end tapering down to 3/8".
Second, look for a cone
candle that's labeled with clear instructions for how to use it. According
to cone candle manufacturers, the art of candling has been used safely
for thousands of years; even so, it's very important to read and follow
directions carefully. |
