Many people have found that ear candling useful in assisting:
- drying excess ear wax to allow it to fall out
- drying debris from past and current infections to allow it to fall out
- drying fluid in the ear canal (especially in people who swim and surf a lot)
- relief of ear infection or sinus pain caused by blockages which bring about excess pressure
It is though it does this by circulating warm air in the outer ear canal.
