Ear coning or ear candling is an ancient technique used for the relief of pain and pressure in the outer and middle ear. This technique assists people experiencing itching, equilibrium problems, pain, pressure, blockages, ear and sinus infections, and other problems related to the ear. The 30 - 45 minute process is painless, very soothing, and relaxing. Some people experienced improved physical balance, mental clarity and pain relief through the removal of accumulated ear wax and other foreign debris.
