What happens in a session?

Clients are advised to remove makeup and jewellery before hand. Fully dressed the client lies down on their side, with their head supported on a pillow so the ear canal is vertical. The candle is then lit and the (non-burning) end is placed gently into the outer ear passage and is turned lightly to seal it in place.

The candle then generates a pleasant crackling sound and a warm, comfortable feeling.

A candle takes around 10 minutes to burn, the process is then repeated on the other ear. The movement of air created by a chimney effect,  generates a vibration that gives a very gentle massage to the ear drum and the gentle heat stimulates the blood circulation to aid the immune system. 

Most people feel a deep sense of peace and calm following a treatment, which includes a gentle massage using aromatherapy oils to the ears & sinus areas of the face, stimulating energy points and reflex zones.  Treatment is enhanced if you can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body detox. 

Please allow one hour for a session.

Experience

Rosie Qualified in Thermo - Auricular Therapy (Hopi ear candling) in 2000, after becoming interested in the benefits it had for her own family - both her children had suffered reoccurring ear infections from a young age, these usually started with mild ear ache, we found that a ear candling at this stage appeared to prevent infection. 

Rosie only uses CE marked Biosun ear candles.
