Ear Candling: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Ear Care

Ear candling offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to maintaining ear health and addressing various ear, nose, and throat conditions. This therapeutic treatment uses specially designed hollow candles to create a gentle vacuum effect, helping to remove excess wax and relieve pressure in the ear canal.

The process can help alleviate symptoms of conditions like tinnitus, sinusitis, and excessive ear wax build-up, while promoting a sense of clarity and wellbeing. It's particularly beneficial for those seeking a natural alternative to traditional ear cleaning methods.

What To Expect From Your Consultation & Treatments

EAR CANDLING: This relaxing treatment takes approximately 40 minutes. You will be asked to lie down on one side and a candle is placed inside the ear canal. The candles are made of linen or cotton impregnated with beeswax, sage, St John’s wort, roman chamomile, vitamin A and honey extracts, all of which have therapeutic healing properties. Once in position, the candle is lit and a gentle suction creates a vacuum in the ear canal. It’s very common to hear a cracking sound. This is nothing to worry about, it’s simply the effect of the change in pressure as the eardrum and inner ear are gently massaged. Ear wax is softened and loosened through the action of the candles and may work its way out of the ear in the 48 hours or so following treatment. This may cause a temporary slight deafness and is quite normal. A treatment is usually completed with facial lymphatic drainage massage and acupressure to enhance the effect of the candles. This is a powerful, soothing and relaxing treatment. Chronic conditions may require several treatments and we recommend three sessions as the optimum treatment plan. Ear candling is not suitable for clients with certain ear-related problems for example, perforated eardrums. Your therapist will always screen potential clients for contraindications.
