The best way to prepare for an ear candling treatment is to make sure you are in a comfortable and relaxed position. You should also avoid wearing any jewellery near the area that will be treated. Before beginning the therapy, it is recommended to use mild soap and warm water to clean the outside of your ear and dry it thoroughly. If you experience any discomfort during the procedure, let your practitioner know right away so they can adjust the treatment accordingly.

One of the best natural remedies for a sinus infection is to drink plenty of fluids. This helps thin out the mucus in your nose and throat, which can help reduce congestion and clear away bacteria or viruses that may be causing your infection. It's also important to get plenty of rest so your body has time to recover from the infection. Inhaling steam from hot water or using a humidifier can also provide relief as it can open up congested nasal passages, allowing you to breathe easier. Drinking herbal teas such as chamomile, ginger, peppermint or fennel can also help soothe inflamed tissue in the sinuses.

Ear candling typically requires two candles per ear, with the whole process taking about 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, the person receiving the treatment will lay on their side with a candle inserted in each ear. The practitioner then lights one of the candles and allows it to burn for about 10 to 15 minutes before putting out the flame and moving onto the other ear. Once both ears are done, any excess wax that has been collected will be removed using an instrument such as tweezers or a vacuum cleaner designed specifically for this purpose.
