Services Description

Thermo-Auricular Therapy could be described as a pleasant non-evasive treatment of the ears that can be used to treat a variety of conditions.

It is thought that ear candling was originally used by ancient civilisations for cleansing, purifying and healing the body on a spiritual level, and it wasn't until much later that the amazing effects of the candles on a physical level were discovered.

Ear candles are made to a traditional formula, being made from the natural ingredients of flax, beeswax, honey, sage, chamomile, St John's wort and beta-carotene.

The candles work on a chimney-like principle that equalises the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. 

Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits.

Ear candles are reported to be helpful with:

* Excessive or compacted earwax
* Irritation in ears and sinuses
* Pressure regulation in cases of  sinusitis/rhinitis/glue 
   ear/colds/headaches/migraine
* Stimulation of local and reflex energy flow
* Energetic revitalisation in cases of hearing loss
* Relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress
* Noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus

What does a typical treatment session entail?

You will be asked to lie on your side comfortably listening to relaxing music.  A candle will be gently placed in your auditory canal, removed, lit and then replaced.

The candle is then held in situ throughout the whole process.  It is kept steady ensuring that any ash is prevented from falling on you. 

As the candle burns down you will experience a pleasant crackling sound and a warm comfortable feeling. 

The candle is then removed, the ear gently massaged and you will be asked to turn onto your other side where the process is repeated.  A relaxing facial massage completes the treatment.
