American tribes have used candles traditionally for decades to cleanse the ears.

This relaxing treatment helps relieve earache, headache, ear noise, stress and nervousness.

After the treatment the physical effect is often described as a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head area. Treatment may also spontaneously cause clearer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell, even when the nose was blocked before treatment!

The treatment gives a sense of security and a feeling of happiness
