Ear Candling Service
Ear candling is a relaxing, non-invasive holistic practice designed to support comfort, clarity, and a sense of overall wellness. During a session, a hollow, handcrafted candle made of cotton or linen is gently placed at the opening of the ear canal. When lit, the warmth and soft movement of air create a light vacuum-like effect that can help soften ear wax, ease pressure, and promote a soothing sensation throughout the head and sinuses.
This method has been used in various cultures for centuries as a natural way to encourage energetic and physical balance. Many people report feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply relaxed after a session. Ear candling can be helpful for those who experience occasional ear pressure, sinus congestion, excess wax, or simply want a gentle calming treatment.
What Happens During a Session
During your appointment, you will lie comfortably on your side while I place the candle securely at the ear’s opening. The candle is never inserted into the ear canal. As it burns, you may hear soft crackling or feel a gentle warmth. The process is slow, soothing, and deeply relaxing.
After the candle has burned down safely, the session ends with a light massage around the ears, neck, and sinus areas to encourage drainage, relaxation, and energetic flow.
Benefits People Commonly Experience
While results vary from person to person, clients often report:
A feeling of lightness or openness in the ears
Reduced pressure
Eased sinus tension
More comfortable breathing
Improved relaxation and stress relief
A clearer sense of energetic flow
Reduction in occasional wax buildup
Ear candling is not a medical procedure and is not intended to cure or diagnose conditions. Instead, it is a comforting holistic practice that supports relaxation and gentle energetic balance.
Safety & Proper Use
Ear candling is safe when performed by a trained practitioner using proper technique and high-quality candles. During your session:
The candle is held securely in place throughout the entire process. A protective barrier is used to shield your skin and hair. The candle is never inserted into the ear canal, only placed at the opening. You remain supervised the entire time; you are never left unattended. Candles are extinguished safely before they reach the marked stopping point. Only professional-grade candles are used.
Ear candling should not be done if you have:
Ear infections
Tympanic membrane perforations (eardrum issues)
Ear tubes
Recent surgery near the ear or sinus area
Active bleeding, severe congestion, or known medical ear conditions
If you’re unsure, we can discuss your concerns before your session.
Aftercare & What to Expect
Most people feel relaxed and refreshed after ear candling. Mild warmth, a sense of openness, or clearer breathing are common. Drinking water, resting, and allowing your sinuses to settle can enhance the benefits.
If you experience chronic or painful ear conditions, medical evaluation is recommended. Ear candling is meant for comfort, not medical treatment.
A Gentle Path Back to Balance
Ear candling offers a peaceful, grounding experience that allows the body to relax and release. For many, it is a moment of quiet self-care and energetic reset. Each session is performed with intention, presence, and care to ensure that you feel safe, supported, and comfortable.
