During your session a trained therapist places a hollow candle near the ear, ignites it, and monitors gentle suction and warmth. Sessions are calming, typically 15–30 minutes, with safety precautions and brief consultation before and after.

Ear candling is considered a complementary wellness treatment. We screen every client for contraindications and employ trained providers. It’s not recommended for perforated eardrums, active infections, or young children; consult your physician if you have ear-health concerns.

Most clients find Ear candling relaxing and feel only gentle warmth and subtle suction. Some experience immediate pressure relief or popping sensations. If you feel pain or unusual discomfort, we stop the treatment and adjust procedures to ensure safety.

Appointments usually last 30–45 minutes, including a short intake, the treatment itself (about 15–25 minutes), and aftercare guidance. Timing varies by client needs and any additional services booked alongside Ear candling.

Frequency varies by individual needs. Many clients schedule sessions every 4–8 weeks for maintenance, while others come occasionally for sinus or pressure relief. Your therapist will recommend a personalized schedule based on ear health and symptoms.

Avoid Ear candling if you have a perforated eardrum, ear tubes, recent ear surgery, active infection, or severe allergies to candle ingredients. Consult a physician if pregnant, on blood thinners, or unsure about suitability before booking.
