Get answers to common questions about Ear Candling.

Ear candling is safe when performed by trained professionals on appropriate candidates. It's not recommended for people with perforated eardrums, active infections, ear tubes, or recent surgery. We screen clients and discuss medical history before treatment to ensure safety and suitability.

Typical sessions last about 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation, preparation, the candling process, and a brief post-treatment check. Timing may vary depending on whether one or both ears are treated and individual client needs or concerns.

Many clients report a subjective feeling of clearer hearing and reduced muffling after sessions, often due to decreased wax buildup. Results vary; candling isn't guaranteed to cure hearing loss. We encourage clients with significant concerns to consult a medical professional.

The procedure is designed to be relaxing and should not be painful. Clients typically experience warmth and light sensation near the ear and a calming atmosphere. If you feel any discomfort, the therapist adjusts or stops the treatment immediately.

Yes. Contraindications include perforated eardrum, recent ear surgery, active ear infections, ear tubes, severe eczema, or skin conditions near the ear. Pregnancy precautions may apply. We review medical history and may decline service if safety could be compromised.

Frequency depends on individual wax production and needs. Many clients start with monthly appointments, then move to maintenance every three to six months. We assess your situation during consultation and recommend a personalized schedule to maintain ear health safely.
