Natural Ear Care Explained
What Is Ear Candling?
Ear candling, also called ear coning, is a centuries-old holistic practice rooted in ancient traditions. During a session, a specially designed hollow candle made from natural fabric and beeswax is gently placed at the ear opening. As the candle burns, it creates a gentle warmth and light suction effect that many clients find incredibly relaxing.
This is a wellness experience—not a medical treatment. Many people turn to ear candling as part of their self-care routine, seeking relaxation and a sense of balance.
What Ear Candling Does—And Doesn't Do
At Your Healing Seeds, we believe in complete honesty and transparency.
What Ear Candling Offers:
- A unique, calming sensory experience
- Gentle warmth and soothing sounds
- A peaceful moment for stress relief and relaxation
- A ritualistic self-care practice
What Scientific Research Shows:
Multiple scientific studies have examined ear candling and found that:
- It does NOT effectively remove earwax from the ear canal
- The residue left inside the candle after burning comes from the candle itself, not from your ear
- It does NOT treat medical conditions like ear infections, sinus problems, or hearing loss
- The suction created is minimal and insufficient to remove debris
Our Position:
We offer ear candling as a wellness and relaxation service for people who enjoy the sensory experience and find it calming. We do NOT make medical claims about ear candling because the scientific evidence does not support them.
If you have earwax buildup, ear pain, infection, hearing loss, or any other ear-related medical concern, please see your doctor or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for proper medical care.
What to Expect During Your Session
Here's what happens when you book an ear candling appointment at Your Healing Seeds:

The Session (30-45 minutes)
- You'll lie comfortably on your side on a treatment table with supportive pillows
- Your practitioner will place a protective cloth around your ear and hair
- The tapered end of the candle is gently positioned at your ear opening (not inserted inside)
- Your practitioner lights the opposite end and monitors the candle continuously for safety
- You'll feel gentle warmth and hear soft crackling sounds
- The process is repeated on your other ear

After Your Session (5-10 minutes)
