Gentle and Relaxing
Ear Candling (also known as Hopi Ear Candling or Thermal Auricular Treatment) is an age old remedy. There is evidence that this has been used by, amongst other civilisations, the Egyptians and the Native Americans. It is an incredibly gentle and relaxing treatment, and is carried out in a safe, responsible and caring manner.
Although described as a candle, it is actually a hollow tube or cone made from pure beeswax.
What happens during An Ear Candling Treatment.
After a consultation, I ask you to lay on the couch (fully clothed), and with your assistance I very gently place the candle into your ear. The candle is lit and the candle burns down for about 10 minutes. I ensure that this treatment is completely safe by using a shield to protect you from the burning candle, and by covering your hair and face. At all times I am holding the candle. After repeating this to the other ear I then complete the treatment with a relaxing face massage.

Headaches
