Ear Candling (Holistic)

Also called Ear Coning. Involves placing the narrow end of a specially designed hollow candle at the entry of the ear canal, while the opposite end is lit. Primarily used for relieving wax build up and related hearing problems, ear candling is also used for ear infections and sinus infections.

Ear Candling (Spa)

A natural remedy for those suffering from wax build-up, swimmer's ear, itching ears, and allergies. Hollow tapers made of beeswax coated muslin are placed gently into the opening of the ear, while you are laying prone on your side. Your attendant monitors the slow burning of the "candle" while the gentle, slow, warm smoke trickles from the inside of the hollow candle into the ear candle, loosening and comforting the ear, while at the same time creating a mild vacuum to draw out moisture, excess wax, and in some cases, pus from an infection. Although advanced cases of ear infection are not recommended for ear candling treatment, in many cases, a session of ear candles will draw out enough of the moisture and "funky stuff" created by chronic swimmer's ear to help speed healing and "pop the pressure" of plugged ears. A deeply relaxing experience, many clients fall asleep. Ear candling promotes the process of cleaning and healing, and offers a natural alternative to chemical solutions or those who have an intolerance to antibiotics.
