The Huron County Health Unit is
warning the public about the
potential dangers of ear candling.
Ear candling is a popular
alternative therapy in Huron County.
A cone shaped candle is inserted
into the ear and the wick is lit at the
other end. Manufacturers make a
number of claims about the benefits
of ear candling from drawing wax
and impurities out of the ear to
alleviating headaches and earaches.
However, Public Health Inspector
Elizabeth Choi says ear candling has
no proven medical benefits.
“Studies have shown that there is
no scientific proof to support claims
that ear candling has any medical
benefits. Tests have shown that
residue found inside the candles
after the procedure is nothing more
than candle wax.”
Choi says that ear candling is
dangerous and can cause serious
injury to the ear including burns,
blockage of the ear and punctured
ear drums. They are also a fire
hazard.
Ear candling a bad idea
