The candles work by two main healing properties: Firstly, the slight chimney effect inside the Ear candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote the health of the sinuses and areas around ear, nose and throat. This can assist with the regulation of ear pressure. Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates the circulatory system to the ear (bringing everything needed for increased repair and regeneration), plus it assists the immune system and reinforces the flow of lymph. In addition important acupuncture and reflex areas are stimulated.
