Ear Candling– Gentle Ear Wax Removal & Relaxation
What Is Ear Candling?
Ear candling (or thermal-auricular therapy) is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses a hollow beeswax or paraffin candle to create a gentle vacuum effect. This helps soften earwax, improve circulation, and promote relaxation—though it’s not a medical procedure for impacted wax.
Ideal for: Mild earwax buildup | Sinus pressure | Stress relief | Holistic wellness seekers.
How Does Ear Candling Work?
-
A specialized cone-shaped candle is inserted into the ear (never entering the ear canal).
-
The candle’s slow burn creates a low-level suction, drawing out impurities.
-
Warmth and herbs (e.g., chamomile, sage) may soothe sinuses and lymphatic drainage.
