Treatment process in brief

​

An ear candle is placed into a silver disk and then gently placed into the outer edge of one ear canal at a time.  The silver disk provides some protection from the burning candle.  The candle is allowed to burn to the safety line margin then the candle is removed and extinguished in a bowl of water.

​

The candle work very gently on a chimney principle. The pleasant warm smoke gently vibrates and the warms air generated gives a very pleasant massage effect to the ear drum. This in turn helps to equalise the ear and sinuses and helps in softening ear wax, which than can be dispersed naturally.
