Ear Candling

A soothing treatment for healthy ears, head and sinuses

Also known as thermal auricular therapy; this treatment involves placing a special ear candle in the outer ear and allowing it to burn down to a marked level where it is then extinguished. 

The warm air softens any debris and excess ear wax in the ear and draws it into the base of the candle, like a chimney.  Each candle takes between 8 to 12 minutes to burn down and a warm and pleasant crackling sound is experienced.  

Ear Candling is performed lying on one side, in a comfortable position.  Following the candling, a shoulder, neck and facial massage is performed to enhance the treatment. 

Ear candling can be enjoyed as a stand alone 45min treatment although a 1 hour/75min session allows more time to incorporate massage on the neck, head and face which really enhances this treatment.

Ear candling may be mixed and matched with any of the other treatments I offer so as to create a personalised session based on your needs.  Prices and Availability
