Ear Candling, also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy, is a gentle, natural way to remove small amounts of earwax blockages. It's best used as preventative care for anyone who experiences regular earwax build up.

During the Ear Candling treatment, we use candles made from linen, honey, and herbs to create a low-suction force to stimulate the ears and help eliminate excess earwax. The experience ends a light facial and head massage to help with drainage.

Fourward Health also offers Earwax Removal, which we recommend for clients who are experiencing difficulty hearing, blocked ears, pain or discomfort in their ears, or ringing sound in ears (tinnitus).

Please call or email us if you're unsure which treatment is best for you.

Before beginning the treatment, a full consultation will be taken to ensure a truly bespoke experience.

During the Ear Candling treatment, you will lay down on your side with your head supported on a pillow and your body covered with a soft blanket, as soothing music of distant shores plays in the background. Your Fourward Health professional will place a hollow, Ear Candle into your ear, which may contain some of the following:

• Chamomile – Anti-inflammatory

• Sage – Stimulates the lymph and increases circulation

• St. John’s Wort – Restorative for the nervous system.

As the candle is lit, it creates a gentle suction that softens and draws the wax and impurities up from the ear. You may hear a fire crackling sound and some gentle popping as rising air gently massages the eardrum to help regulate ear pressure.

Finally, the treatment concludes with a light Facial Massage to help drain away any sinus congestion.

As Ear Candling uses a gentle suction from the lighting of the Ear Candle, you should not experience any discomfort or pain. At any time, you can ask your Fourward Health professional to stop the treatment.

During this Ear Candling treatment, you will remain clothed throughout. However, your Fourward Health professional may ask you to remove your earrings or glasses.
