Ear Candling

An age-old art that began with the Hopi Indians, ear candling, or coning, is a wonderful way to deal with the cleansing of the ears.
Before the ear candling treatment, a gentle massage concentrating on the sinuses and the lymph area is given. The massage opens up the sinus passages to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Then a hollow candle is placed in the ear and carefully lit at the other end. The warm air from the candle softens the earwax while the conical shape of the candle forms a vacuum-like device and draws up old wax and debris from inside the ear.
The experience is relaxing and even soothing. It is wonderful for swimmers, children and adults suffering from colds or ear infections and people with hearing difficulties. Ear candling has also been known to help in detoxifying the sinuses and the lymph system.
