Get answers to common questions about Ear Candling.

During an Ear Candling session you'll lie on your side while a hollow candle is gently placed in the ear. The practitioner lights the outer end, monitors the flame, and completes a short inspection and cleanup afterward, typically around thirty minutes.

Ear Candling can be safe when performed by trained professionals following strict protocols. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, ear tubes, active infections, or recent ear surgery. Always disclose medical history before treatment.

A typical Ear Candling appointment at our spa lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation, ear inspection, the candling process, and brief aftercare. Duration may vary depending on individual needs and whether both ears are treated.

Some clients report a sense of relief after Ear Candling, but results vary. It may assist with surface debris and comfort, yet it is not a medically proven cure for impacted wax or hearing loss. Consult an ENT for persistent hearing issues.

Possible risks include minor burns, candle wax residue, or ear irritation if not done correctly. We adhere to strict safety measures and will screen for contraindications to minimize risk and protect client health.

Before treatment, avoid ear irrigation or drops unless advised and inform us of any ear conditions or surgeries. Aftercare includes keeping ears dry, avoiding insertion of objects, and contacting us or your physician if you experience pain, drainage, or altered hearing.
