I made up my mind to resort to ear candling as the only option available to solve my earwax blockage problem.
Just a year ago, I had my left ear completely blocked, and I could not hear anything using it. I tried as many over-the-counter methods to unclog the wax, but each one of them proved ineffective, just worsening the condition ever a time that I try a different method. I finally gave up on them and decided to pay for a specialist. Fortunately for me, my insurance health cover took care of everything by settling all the bills.
The well-known ear, nose, and throat expert was astounded by the quantity of wax that had accumulated in my ear. The doctor made use of a tiny vacuum to remove all the wax from my ear. It felt so good, and it was such a good feeling that I had never had in my life. My hearing resumed, and I was much delighted for this sense of hearing that I have lost for a while. I could not hide my happiness, but just when I was about to settle, she said something that sent fever in me.
She warned that some people have the kind of ears with a tendency to block more often than others. By that, I realized that she was referring to me as being one of the most unfortunate in the lot. Somehow, she implied that it was not the end of my earwax problem. Maybe, I would have to repeat the same process year in year out for the rest of my life. It was hard to believe it and just wondered whether or not a permanent solution to this problem would be found.
Just a year passed, and the very ear that had wax sucked from it before started showing all the signs of experiencing a serious blockage again. Instead of believing in myself as I have always done to fix the problem myself, I decided to do a different thing this time. I changed the ENT to something that seemed more holistic: the ear candling.
According to the documented information in the NCBI journal, “Ear candling entails placing a hollow candle in the external auditory canal. At the end of the procedure, a brown waxy substance was deposited in the candle stub. The brown substance candle practitioners believe to be a combination of earwax fragments and bacteria.”
I got a very decent and welcoming woman called Karen who offered the service through her therapeutic bodywork and Self-care Company that she named Wellbody. Karen explained to me that she applied beeswax ear candles. After putting the candle in the ear, you do nothing else after just lighting it and letting the smoke to move downwards.
The smoke is meant to create a vacuum that does the work of loosening the wax.point 175 | Though it worked perfectly for me, Karen did mention that the procedure may not be an appropriate solution for everyone who suffers from the same problem as me.point 308 |
Some people might need to try another method if ear candling do not work for them.point 67 | You should, however, remember that the method so chosen should not be the type that will cause further damages to your ear.point 169 | An ear which has lost hearing ability due to ear wax clogging the external auditory canal do not cause damages to the internal parts of the ear.point 287 |
Therefore, precautions should be taken not to interfere with your ear in the name of removing wax.point 82 | 1
After the procedure, I regained my hearing ability almost immediately just as like in the case with the specialist whom I visited before. I also felt lighter. It seemed that the earwax was weighing heavily on me and their removal gave me relief.
I am not in doubt that the procedure helped in the unblocking of the earwax by loosening them. I am ready to do the same again and again whenever I feel that my ear is congested with wax. It made me feel good and relaxed. I trust that it is the best way to go now that unclogging earwax will be all that I will be doing on an annual basis.
