Safe and Easy Use of Earcandles
BIOSUN Earcandles are about 22 cm long and have a burning time of 10-12 minutes. Earcandles are used by setting them alight. Beware of the fire hazard! Please store the Earcandles out of children’s reach. For safety reasons we do not recommend you to carry out the treatment by yourself. It should always be done by an assisting person (e.g. partner). This will ensure your safety during the treatment and enables a considerably deeper relaxation. Before you start, always place a glass of water within reach in order to extinguish the Earcandle.
Do you suffer from chronic or acute diseases? Do you feel earcandling may not suit you? In this case you should by all means consult a therapist of your confidence for further advice. In the presence of a perforated eardrum or tympanostomy tube implants we strictly do not recommend the use of Earcandles. The same applies to all kinds of inflammations of the ear or skin diseases in and around the ear. Very occasionally allergic reactions to its ingredients are reported. This takes the form of spontaneous itchiness and can be relieved with suitable eardrops.
1. Preparation
Create a relaxed atmosphere before you start. Our American Indian relaxation music and aroma essences are particularly useful. You will experience earcandling much more intensely if you keep your eyes closed. The room should be draught-free, so the flame will burn smoothly. Keep yourself warm with a blanket. Lie down on one side in a comfortable position. Support your head slightly with a pillow so that the auditory canal is in an almost vertical position. Draught in the room while the Earcandle is alight can result in small, cold ash particles blowing off the Earcandle. In order to protect your hair and clothing, your partner can place a cover around the treatment area.2. Lighting
When preparations are complete, your partner sits comfortably next to you.
He/She should light the Earcandle at the unlabeled end and place the non-burning end gently onto the outer ear passage. A light turning movement should be applied until the Earcandle is sealed in place. The Earcandle is placed properly when there is no smoke escaping from the side and you hear the pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame.
Your partner will hold the Earcandle firmly in place throughout the process. He/She will take care that no hair is within reach of the flame.
3. Burning down
Of course, the Earcandle has to be lit at the unlabeled end, opposite the safety filter!
It will never put itself out! At the most, the Earcandle may be burnt down to 1 cm above the red line (maximum burn) marking. Carefully remove the remainder of the Earcandle and extinguish it in the glass of water ready nearby.
