Auricular therapy:  

This technique is part of the ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Indian cultures. It is a gentle and holistic way that helps eliminate the excess earwax and waste in the ear passage. An empty cone-like candle, made of pure bees wax and non-bleached muslin, is used. The pointed tip is placed in the ear while the other tip is lit. The smoke creates a suction that gently pulls the excess earwax from the ear towards the candle. The therapist disposes the earwax in a bowl of water with the help of tweezers.  

This is a safe technique. The use of a non-inflammable blanket and a humid towel covers the patients head in order to protect against the flame of the candle and the hot candle wax. Auricular therapy eliminates the accumulation of waste, dust and earwax from the ear passage. It relieves pressure in cases of sinusitis, headaches, migraines and sinus congestion. It also helps unblock the ears and encourages the equilibrium of liquids, energetic and encephalitic flow. It can sometimes help the quality of hearing and breathing. It is not prescribed to children under the ages of 5 or for those suffering from ear infections and are prescribed antibiotics. A treatment takes approximately 1 hour.
