Ear Candling, also known as thermal-auricular therapy, involves the use of hollow candles made of cotton soaked in beeswax or paraffin. During the session, you will lie comfortably on your side as the candle is gently inserted into your ear canal and lit at the opposite end. The warm air creates a gentle suction that helps draw out impurities, excess earwax, and debris from the ear canal.
Our practitioners conduct each Ear Candling session with precision and care, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process. The warm sensation and subtle crackling sound of the candle create a deeply relaxing experience, allowing you to unwind and rejuvenate.

Benefits of Ear Candling:
- Remove Excess Earwax: Since earwax is a natural substance produced in the ears to help keep them clean and healthy, it only makes sense that removing excess wax will lead to better hearing. The small candle can be used on certain areas of the body such as the nose or ears, which helps with sinus pain and pressure by gently pulling out any built-up wax.
- Improve Hearing: The process of removing excess wax helps to release the pressure behind it, which allows for better hearing. Ear candles can help improve your ability to hear by irrigating and cleansing the Eustachian tubes (connecting each inner ear). This improves balance and pressure, which can make it easier to hear.
- Alleviate Headache Discomfort: Ear candles can help reduce the amount of pain a person experiences from a headache. The gentle suction and warmth helps to release pressure on certain blood vessels, which allows for relief if you experience tension headaches. Please be aware that not all types of headaches are reduced by using this process though! Although it may be effective for some, not everyone will experience relief.
- Help with Vertigo and Nausea: Ear candling is said to help with motion sickness, vertigo, and nausea. It helps by clearing the ear canal of any built-up wax that may be causing fluid build-up or pressure around your inner ears. Please note this isn’t a treatment for these conditions but it can relieve some symptoms!
- Help Alleviate Sinus Infections and Colds: It is said that ear candling can help with sinus infections and colds because it helps to clear the ears of built-up wax. This allows for your body to fight off infection naturally, rather than having a buildup of mucous in the ears causing pressure and pain.
- Enhance General Well-Being: Many people report feeling more relaxed and in a better mood after ear candling. The process of ear candling may reduce stress and anxiety by clearing the ears and sinuses, which can allow for improved breathing as well. For many people this has been an effective way to help with sleep!
- Relieve Sore Throats: Ear candling has been known to help relieve sore throats. There are several reasons for this, one being that it can remove excess wax in the ear canal which reduces pressure and pain. Another reason is because of the heat associated with the process, which helps open up your nasal passages allowing you to breathe easier. This allows everything from fluids to drain more easily, which also helps with sore throats.
- Relaxation: The process of ear candling can help with several things, one being relaxation. The gentle warmth and suction helps to reduce stress, which allows for a calmer mood overall. It is recommended you use this at the end of your day or before bed so that it may help with sleep as well.
