How does ear candling work?

With the ear candle inserted in the ear, the heat from the flame creates a stimulating, soothing and warming effect. The mechanics of this system are energetic in nature. Adding heat to the system in a subtle way results in a stimulation of lymphatic drainage (swelling reduced); in burning off excess mucus in the middle and inner ear, sinuses and nose breathing improves. By increasing the mobility and effectiveness of the white blood cells, the immune system is strengthened.
