Ear Candling

    What are Ear Candles?

    Thermal auricular therapy (ear candling) was practiced by many civilizations, including the Tibetans, Indians,
    Egyptians and Chinese.

    The candle itself is a hollow tube made from unbleached organic cotton and 100% pure beeswax and works
    like a chimney. When the candle is lit at the top, there is a mild suction which will draw out impurities from
    the ear into the lower section of the candle. The rising air inside the ear then sets up a vibration which will
    gently massage the ear drum. This helps regulate the pressures involved inside the ear.

    The effect of this is sometimes experienced by the client as a “lighter feeling” in the ear and head areas. The
    flow of air creates a circulation of vapor.  Warmth of the flow stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and increases
    immune defense and cleansing. It also stimulates energy and reflex points. While the candle is burning, a pleasant, warm
    sensation can be felt.  This technique is soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas.
