Thermal-auricular Therapy, or ear candling as it's more commonly known, is a complementary therapy that aims to help symptoms associated with the ear, nose and throat. It is a natural therapy which does not aim to cure any medical conditions but promotes general wellness and relaxation.

During the burning process and chimney effect, the rising air column in the candle gently massages inside the ear, helping to regulate pressure and clear impurities. The warmth can also stimulate the peripheral blood circulation and promote the cleansing process of the lymph glands.

Thermal-auricular Therapy can help relieve the symptoms of congested sinuses, ear wax, headaches & migraines, vertigo, asthma and seasonal allergies.

It can also bring a sense of calm and relaxation, especially when paired with an Ayurvedic Facial Massage.

During a treatment, you will be asked to lay on your side and will be made comfortable with cushions and blankets. Each ear will be treated in turn and your ear/skin/hair will be protected with a cloth shield. The ‘candle’, made of cotton, soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs is gently inserted into the ear canal and lit at the top. During the burning of the candle, a gentle massage will be given to the lymph areas behind the ear and to the neck whilst holding the candle in the other hand. After the treatment, a gentle face massage or ayurvedic facial massage will be given depending on the treatment purchased.

Thermal-auricular Therapy is a very relaxing therapy and clients describe their ears and head as feeling clear and light.

As the candle burns, there is a warm feeling in the ear canal as the candle creates a mild suction. Clients report the sound of a gentle crackling as the flame burns, promoting a medative sensation and general state of calmness.
