FAQ

Ear candles are handmade from beeswax and unbleached cotton cloth and rolled into a cone. This is then placed in the ear and lit. The ear candle creates a vacuum which gently draws out wax and debris from the ear. During the treatment you will hear a slight crackling or popping noise and possibly feel the movement of debris being drawn out of the ear. At the end of your session, your therapist will cut open the ear candles so you can see what’s been drawn out of your ears.
