When we were given the opportunity to try out ear-candling services, hubby was excited. He has always wanted to try ear-candling because he's heard about how relaxing it is. So, we dropped by Face Inc. last week and hubby finally got to try it. He blogged about his experience here.
The spa saloon is not big, but really cosy and comfortable with the smell of aromatherapy oils in the air. That's hubby lying down comfortably on the treatment beds.
The candles used by Face Inc. are organic and imported from Germany. Though they may be slightly more expensive than non-organic candles, they are pure and natural.
The therapist explained the ear-candling process step-by-step as it was hubby's first time trying it. She first started by gentle massages around the ear and neck area. This will loosen the muscles and help in the entire therapy process. According to hubby, it was very relaxing and comfortable.
The principles behind ear-candling is based on simple physics: The lighting of the ear candle leads to a natural pressure difference between the burning part of the ear candle and the ear. The difference causes pressure equalization, the so-called Chimney effect. This physical effect causes a pleasant feeling in the ear, which is often described to be very relaxing and balancing. In fact, the therapist shared with us that some of her clients who have been doing ear-candling therapies have seen vast improvements in their sleep quality at night. Those who've experienced insomnia could sleep better at night simply because the therapies helped them to relax from their stressful lifestyles. Those with sinus and sensitive nose symptoms also find relief through this therapy.
After the massages, the therapist then lit up one end of the candle, and placed the other end into hubby's ear.
She then continued to gently massage the ear, neck and even shoulder area. With the soft music playing in the background, hubby nearly fell asleep!
According to hubby, there was no pain at all and he could hardly feel any heat from the candle. The whole process was comfortable and relaxing.
All the therapists at Face Inc are qualified as well, having gone through courses and received certification for their training. You can be assured they know what they are doing. By hearing the explanation of the therapist on the benefits of ear-candling, we felt very assured indeed. Hubby especially was very glad because he has a history of sinus problems, and this might just solve the problem for him!
At the end of the therapy, I asked hubby how he felt. He obviously looked very relaxed, and he said he could feel that the entire nose and ear area were clear and unblocked. We were shown the inside of the candles after they were cut. These filters (yellow portions) collect the residue from the process.
All in all, hubby was very happy with the whole ear-candling process. :) In fact, the process is so gentle and all the candles are organic, so even children can also try it.
Those of you who are interested to try out ear-candling as well, you would be happy to know that there are some great promotions offered by Face Inc now in celebration of their 10th anniversary!
