The Treatment

The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is only allowed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.
