Ear Candling a unique way to introduce essential oils and healing Beeswax properties into the body.
Other known names
Sometimes called Coning or Hot Auricular Treatment. Also called Hopi Ear Candles it’s a term that was devised by one of the manufacturers. However, the Hopi Tribe has asked for it not to remain related to them, it’s not a treatment that they themselves lay claim to. Many ancient cultures have used this method, there’s pictures and writings showing it being used.
How Ear Candling works
It works on many levels of the body; it’s a very soothing and nurturing treatment. The gentle burning of the beeswax and fine linen creates warmth; thus gently stimulating vasodilation of the blood vessel in the ear canal. The released essential oils and goodness in the beeswax mix into the smoke of the candles. Then carried on the smoke down the candle into the ear. Here in the ear canal the is lined with a mucous membrane, making it easy for the absorption of the essential oils and beeswax properties into the blood. The noise and movement of the flame all play a part in this treatment.
Pre your Ear Candling Treatment
Firstly, you must inform me of any ear problems, such as glue ear; grommets; infection as you may not be able to receive this treatment without GP’s knowledge.
Secondly, once booked you will receive a new client form, please can you fill it in, and submit it to me. Then I can get in touch to arrange a free pre-treatment telephone consultation, if required. This will cut down consultation time during the treatment and allow more time for us to work together.
Thirdly, please contact me directly, I can answer all your questions and book you in for your treatment manually. We can fill the form in at this time if we both have enough time. Or arrange a more convenient time for both of us.
Ear Candling, The Treatment
The Treatment starts with you laid on your left or right side. With your best ear upwards. I will make you comfortable using pillows to support you and blankets to keep you warm.
This is a full treatment allow an hour to hour and half. The candles take between 10 – 20 minutes each to burn. The rest of the time consists of the facial lymphatic drainage massage, consultation time, getting ready and after treatment care.
Before I light the candle, I will let you feel what it will feel like once placed in your ear. I will talk you through what you might hear and feel. We’re all different which means I can not tell young exactly what your experience will be.
Next, once the candles lit, I will place it just inside your ear canal, Keeping you safe, supporting it all the time it’s there. When burnt down to its limit I will remove it and extinguish it in water. Around the candle there’s a special card protecting you from the candle whilst it burns. Following this your ears then massaged and lymphatic drainage stimulated.
I will then assist you to turn over, rearrange the pillows and blankets, then repeat the process.
Finally, I will massage the face using lymphatic drainage techniques.
IF AT ANY TIME YOU EXPERIENCE PAIN OR DISCOMFORT I WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY
Post Treatment
