Ear Candling (also known as Ear Coning), is a simple, effective method for removing ear wax build-up, fungus, yeast, pollen and impaction from within the ear canal. Due to all the intricate crevices in the ear, an unbelievable amount of debris can build up. The process can also regulate ear and sinus pressure, assist with post nasal drip, sinusitis, itchy ears, migraines, some forms of hearing loss, and restoration of equilibrium.
It requires a hollow candle that tapers at one end to fit into the ear. The other end when lit draws oxygen from the flame and creates a vacuum. This has the effect of pulling out residue and cleansing the sinus cavity.
Ear Candling was a technique used by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, Indians and Tibetans. It is a safe and pleasant alternative to traditional treatments of removing extra wax in the ears.
*Treatment takes about 30 minutes and we do 1 ear candle per ear.
What To Expect During Your Session
During an Ear Candling session you will lie on the massage table on your side. The tapered end of the cone is gently placed in the ear. The cone is made from spiraled strips of cotton with a bit of bee’s wax to help the burning process. The other end of the candle is lit and the heat from the flame creates a vacuum effect helping to draw out the impurities from the ear into the candle. During the treatment you will receive a gentle massage around the ear to assist with the removal. Ear Candling will take approximately 12-15 minutes per ear. While the candle is burning down you will normally hear some crackling. When the ear candle is removed from the ear it will get opened up so you can see what got removed. Many clients find this treatment to be extremely relaxing.
