rituals for the ears


The practice of ear candling dates back approximately 2,500 years to the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Tibetan and American Indian cultures. Today, it is practiced by many cultures and is taught in German medical schools.

As the candle burns, smoke moves the debris out of the ear. Osmosis (diffusion through a semi-permeable membrane, e.g., skin) plays an important role as the smoke soothes the sinus and nasal cavities. Excess ear wax is moved through the ear canal into the cone.

It has benefits for people with sinus problems, allergies, ear aches, swimmers ears, chronic headaches, hearing difficulties, sore throat and promotes general well being.

Sessions are approximately one hour.
