Thermal auricular therapy is probably better known as ‘ear candling’. It is a safe and natural treatment based on the cleansing rituals of the Hopi Native Americans. Modern candles consist of a hollow tube of woven cotton, coated in beeswax, herbs and essential oils with antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. A lighted candle is placed in the outer ear and produces a gentle, local heat. Vapours then circulate through the ear nose, throat and sinuses, equalizing pressure and breaking down congestion naturally . This is a very peaceful, and relaxing treatment that can alleviate symptoms relating to the following problems;

Compacted or excessive ear wax
Glue ear
Tinnitus
Sinus discomfort
Rhinitis
Hay fever
Catarrh
Colds and sore throats
Headaches
Stress
