How does Ear Candling work?

During the treatment you will lie comfortably on your side (fully clothed), whilst listening to relaxing music. A candle is gently placed into the ear where it is held in a vertical position and lit. The candles work by vaporising their therapeutic oils and generating a moderate heat, which gently massages the eardrum and auditory canal relieving pressure and rebalancing the ears and sinuses.

You will experience a pleasant crackling sound and a warm comfortable feeling as the candle burns. The treatment takes approximately 8-10 minutes per ear. The candling treatment is followed by a face massage to improve circulation and help the removal of toxins.

How can Ear Candling help you?

Ear candles can help to treat the following conditions:

• Compacted ear wax and glue ear
  
• Hearing difficulties
  
• Headache and migraine
  
• Tinnitus
  
• Sore throats and hay fever
  
• Sinusitis and rhinitis
  
• Vertigo

Ear candling is a safe, relaxing, pain free treatment which is suitable for children and is a good alternative to syringing.

If you have never experienced a complementary therapy before it may be useful to know what to expect.

Prior to the treatment there will be a consultation to discuss your health, lifestyle and wellbeing. With this valuable information the treatment will be tailored to your unique circumstances, ensuring that you derive maximum benefit and enjoyment.

If you are receiving an Aromatherapy or Hot Stone Massage you will then be given privacy to undress to your underwear and relax on the comfortably padded massage couch (Reflexology and Ear Candling treatments are carried out fully clothed). Rest assured that your modesty will be respected - you will be covered with a sheet/blanket at all times and only the area being treated will be uncovered. Calming music will relax your mind and body as the treatment begins.

Following the treatment you will be given time to readjust from your state of relaxation ready to face the hustle and bustle of the outside world. You will be provided with aftercare advice that will allow you to optimise the feeling of wellbeing long after treatment.
