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.
At Your Healing Seeds, we believe in complete honesty and transparency.

The combination of gentle warmth, soft crackling sounds, and the peaceful environment creates a deeply calming experience. Many clients report feeling relaxed and centered after their session.
Ear candling offers a different type of relaxation compared to massage or other spa services. The warmth near the ear and the rhythmic sounds create a meditative, peaceful state.
Some clients incorporate ear candling into their regular wellness routine as a dedicated time for themselves—a moment to pause, breathe, and reset.
Many people are simply curious about ear candling and want to try something new in a safe, professional environment.
Ear candling pairs well with other services we offer at Your Healing Seeds, including acupuncture, ear seeding, and massage therapy, for a comprehensive wellness experience.

Is ear candling safe?
When performed by a trained practitioner following proper safety protocols, ear candling is generally considered safe for most healthy adults. However, it's not appropriate for everyone—see our contraindications above.
Does ear candling remove earwax?
No. Scientific studies have consistently shown that ear candling does not remove earwax from your ear canal. If you have earwax concerns, please see your doctor or an ENT specialist.
What is the residue inside the candle after burning?
Research shows this residue comes from the candle itself (the beeswax and fabric), not from your ear. You would see the same residue if you burned the candle without placing it near an ear.
How long does a session take?
Most sessions last 45-60 minutes total, including consultation, treatment on both ears, and rest time afterward.
Does it hurt?
No. Most people find ear candling very relaxing and comfortable. You'll feel gentle warmth and hear soft sounds, but there should be no pain or discomfort.
How often should I get ear candling?
This is entirely up to you. Some people enjoy monthly sessions as part of their self-care routine, while others book occasionally when they want dedicated relaxation time. There's no medical recommendation.
Can I get ear candling if I wear hearing aids?
You would need to remove your hearing aids during the session, but ear candling does not interfere with hearing aids.
Will I hear better after ear candling?
No. Ear candling does not improve hearing. If you're experiencing hearing problems, please see an audiologist or ENT doctor.
Can pregnant women get ear candling?
Ear candling is generally considered safe during pregnancy as it's non-invasive and doesn't use medications, but we recommend checking with your OB-GYN first. You may need position modifications for comfort.
Do you offer ear candling for children?
We only provide ear candling for adults 18 and older.
