Hello there
Im 14wks pregnant and my ears really irritate me i was wondering if it was safe to have ear candling while pregnant and if this will help me?
It seems i keep getting lumps of wax coming out of my ears (tmi sorry) but its driving me crazy!! all help is welcome!!

Ear candles will be fine to use while pregnant,
the only thing you will have to be careful about is what essential oils they have as some oils are not to be used during pregnancy but I'm not too sure which ones these are,
someone will tell us ,
the candles come in different varieties of oils used, hth

i dont think they have any oils in the ones i have are honeydew

 

[loubylou]

They should be fine then hun,
i use the Hopi ones and the linen that they are made out of has been soaked in bees wax and essential oils

 

[beautytherapist]

Do you think it will help though??? i dont want to make it worse!!

It won't make your ears worse - don't worry about that.
You're more likely to get relief and relaxation from the hopi candles.
Go for it.

I'm not negating the ear candlers on here, but as you are pregnant, why don't you ask the pharmacist in your local chemist, as it seems to be a medical issue? Or ask the doc at your next check up?
Hope you get some relief whatever you try. Ears can be such sore things. xx

I had this when pregnant, it's just your extra blood flow, it makes everything work faster, that's why we sneeze a lot, have runny eyes and need to wee more when pregnant. Also why our hair grows and sebaceous (have I spelt that right?) work overtime.

Go to the doctors and they will clean them for free. :hug:
