Ear Candling

Ear candling is a natural thermal method based on the chimney effect, used to support gentle cleansing of the ear canals, improve microcirculation, and promote deep relaxation. During the treatment, the generated warmth helps soften earwax, release tension in the head area, and create an overall sense of calm and well-being.

This lesson introduces the principles of safe ear candling practice, including proper client qualification, selection of appropriate candles, treatment technique, and contraindications. The possibilities of combining ear candling with other relaxation and skincare procedures are also discussed.

The learning process includes theoretical content, instructional video materials, step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of completion, preparing participants for conscious and safe application of the treatment in professional practice.
