Ear candling, also called thermal-auricular therapy, is a alternative medicine practice to improve general health and well-being. It is a form of alternative therapy in which the tapered end of an ear candle is placed in a person's ear while the other end of the candle is lit, promoting earwax and other impurities to be drawn out of the ear canal by a partial vacuum created by the candle flame. A hugely relaxing and calming treatment to add as a holistic therapy to your treatment list.
