Ear Candling & Naval Candling

Ear candling is a natural integrative method traditionally used to help remove ear wax. Its effectiveness and the benefits often associated with it remain the subject of ongoing discussion.

During an ear candling session, a long hollow candle is gently placed into the ear. The narrow tip of the cone is positioned comfortably at the entrance of the external auditory canal and stabilized by the therapist’s hand. The wider end is then lit with a match. Safety is always the priority: the burning end is regularly trimmed and dipped into a cup of water kept nearby. As the candle burns, it creates a vacuum effect that warms the ear wax and draws it upward into the beeswax candle. The gentle heat from the smoke also helps soften wax and loosen debris trapped in the ear.

Each ear typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, so a full session lasts 30 to 40 minutes.

Sessions: $60 one ear
$85 two ears

Naval Candling

Navel candling is an unusual therapy practiced in Indonesia and rooted in traditional Malay medicine. It uses the same candle as ear candling, but applies it to the navel area to gently warm the abdomen. This abdominal therapy is traditionally associated with supporting healing throughout the body through manual techniques, massage, externally applied herbs, and warmth. It is believed to encourage the flow of Qi (energy) and fluids along the meridians and organs, while helping to restore balance among the four elements: wind, earth, air, and fire. The practice is also described as a way to release negative energy that may become held in the delicate organs of the abdomen, including the stomach, diaphragm, colon, small intestines, liver, pancreas, gall bladder, and reproductive organs.

The session begins with a light rub using herbal oils. A long hollow candle is then placed with its wide end over the navel and held in position by a comfortable container that also helps retain warmth. The tapered end is lit and allowed to burn down as far as possible. Please note that clothing is not removed; only the belly area is exposed for the oil rub and candle placement.

Session: $75

Some of the benefits are:
