Ashdale Holistic Therapies

This treatment lasts 45 minutes and includes a consultation to ensure that it is safe to have the treatment. Certain medical conditions require the permission of a GP before a treatment can be done, other conditions may require the treatment to be adapted and in some cases it may not be appropriate to proceed with the treatment. During the consultation, a detailed account is taken of your lifestyle and any medical conditions and what you wish to achieve from the treatment and a treatment plan is put into place accordingly.

The treatment begins when you lie on your side and a specialist candle is lit and inserted in your ear. The movement of the flame generates a massage like effect on the eardrum which induces a pleasant feeling of warmth. Once one ear has been done, you turn over on your other side and a specialist candle is lit and inserted in the other ear. When both ears have been done, the treatment is completed with a face massage.
