Thermal Auricular Therapy (Ear Candling)
Thermal Auricular Therapy can provide relaxation and relief if you are suffering from blocked sinuses or head tension. Laura uses Biosun ear candles which are made from completely natural beeswax, honey extract and various herbs.
Laura inserts the candle gently into each ear in turn while you are lying on your side. She then lights it and you will hear a light crackling sound and a feeling of warmth. After the candling is completed Laura performs a lymphatic drainage massage including sinus and head pressure points on your face, helping to alleviate the blockage or tension naturally, efficiently and drug free.
If a block of treatments is booked discount will be given, and ear candling can also be added to a massage treatment.
