The candles work on a chimney principle, creating a gentle vacuum and drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be carefully removed. Head and ear pressure is equalised.Wax flow is gently stimulated and some impurities disappear as vapour. Whilst most of this is carried away through the candle some residue remains and is removed with the candle itself.

Some people are concerned that ash or other debris from the candle can lodge in the ear. This is impossible with a correctly placed candle as the vacuum is creating movement out of the candle and away from the ear.

My treatments also include background relaxation music to enhance the experience. The client is asked to lie down with the head placed on a pillow for support. Then the candle is gently inserted into the ear with a slight twisting motion to ensure comfort and a proper seal. The candle is then lit and held vertically to maintain even burning. The client will hear mild crackling and spitting sounds and may experience some slight changes in pressure in the ear. Once the candle has burnt to the correct length it is withdrawn and extinguished in water. A gentle massage around the ear follows after which the process is repeated on the other side.

After both ears have been done the client then turns onto their back and a gentle massage of the sinus areas, jaw, eustachian tube and ears completes the treatment.
