Ear Candling

What is Ear Candling?

Ear Candling (also known as ear coning) is the practice of placing a lit, cone-shaped candle into the ear. It’s an alternative therapy practiced for thousands of years and with a well-respected history.

It is a non-invasive, herbal remedy used around the world. The heat from the candle creates a vacuum and extracts wax and debris from the ear. Nothing is dripped into the ear. Ear candling can be used to remove wax, improve hearing, help with ear and sinus infections, headaches, and more.

Historically, ear candling was also believed to be a spiritual practice for clearing the mind and senses and improving the energy flow in the body.

At the end of the service, we cut open the remaining candle to see what debris was removed and remains in the candle. During the ear candling session, clients also receive the healing benefits of the amethyst bio mat (for more information on the amethyst bio mat, click here).

Ear Candling - Frequently Asked Questions

How far does the candle go into my ear?

The candle sits comfortably in the outer ear, about as deep as you can fit your pinkie finger into your ear.

How do I know if I need ear candling?

Nearly everyone can benefit from ear candling. Because of the intricacy of the ear, debris can accumulate. This debris can create an environment that can lead to hearing issues, as well as yeast and wax buildup. Regular ear candling can help improve clarity, hearing, and relieve tension and pressure in the ear.

What can I expect during my session?

You’ll relax during the session on a massage table and lie on your side. We’ll do 2 candles per ear/side. After the candling, we’ll cut open the candles to review the debris that remains inside. The sessions are quite relaxing, and clients often not only relax but also fall asleep.

What kind of candles are used?

We primarily use purified beeswax candles, but paraffin is also available. The wax is on unbleached cotton muslin. We have unscented candles and candles infused with essential oils. Each high-quality candle contains a no-drip filter to protect the ear. Candles will be selected for you at your appointment to best suit your needs.

What risks are associated with ear candling?

First, you should definitely receive ear candling from a trained professional. Although candles are available to use at home, it is not recommended. Because the candle has a lit flame, the practitioner uses a fire-resistant tray to help hold it. The client’s hair and side of face are covered with fire-resistant towels. Water and wet towels are also nearby. Most risks occur if a client opts for ear candling too soon after surgery or after a ruptured eardrum. You should be sure any ear condition is cleared up. While ear candling can help clear a sinus infection, if you have an infection in the bone of the ear, you should wait to book this procedure until it clears up. As with any procedure, you must make the best decision for the good of your health in receiving any alternative therapy.
