Ear Candle Therapy Treatments offered at Therapy Training School in Staffordshire

Ear Candle Therapy offers real benefits for many problems and conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat. Ear Candle Therapy is widely used by doctors in Europe and America as an alternative to conventional treatments such as antibiotics, repetitive ear syringing and grommets. Also for our increasingly stressed society it is a deeply relaxing, calming and soothing experience.

The candling induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and regulates pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache, headaches, tinnitus, stress and nervousness. Treatment may also make it easier to breath through the nose and improve the sense of smell. Many clients who have puffiness in the eyes or cheeks notice a marked reduction in swelling in these areas. Furthermore, the whole treatment can often create a wonderful sense of relaxation, security and happiness.

Your first visit

Before treatment takes place a full consultation is conducted to check that there are no contraindications and to ensure that treatment is delivered in the most effective way for each client's unique requirements. Treatment takes place in a relaxing environment with soothing music and aromas. The client lies (fully clothed) on their side on a therapy couch and a lighted ear candle is placed with its base in the ear (both ears are treated, one after the other). A mild suction is created (the chimney effect) and together with the movement of the flame this creates a vibration of air in the ear candle which has a massage-like effect on the eardrum.

A gentle head and face massage completes the therapy. The contents of the candles are examined after treatment to indicate how further treatments should proceed. Ear Candle Therapy takes 30-45 minutes and a whole treatment (including free consultation and ear examination) will take just one hour.

Treatment is delivered by Karen Hemmings.
