Ear Candling At Luxmedics Clinic
Luxmedics Clinic offers ear candle therapy as part of our integrative, patient-centered care. Led by trained clinicians, this service focuses on relaxation and comfort, with a mindful approach to safety and well-being. Please note: ear candling is considered a complementary therapy and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.
What is ear candling?
A licensed clinician uses a specially designed, scented beeswax candle that is placed just outside the ear opening.
The session is intended to provide warmth, a soothing sensation, and a moment of relaxation.
Our team explains the procedure beforehand and answers any questions you may have.

Ear candling and headaches
Some clients report a sense of relief from mild tension headaches after a relaxing session, attributed to reduced stress and improved comfort. Some clients report relief of sinus pressure and or some relief from tinnitus (rining in the ears)
It is not a guaranteed cure or primary treatment for headaches. Headache causes vary widely, and candling is not a substitute for medical evaluation or proven headache therapies.
If you experience persistent, severe, or worsening headaches, please consult your healthcare provider.
Safety, contraindications, and risks
Do not use ear candles if you have a perforated eardrum, active ear infection, recent ear surgery, dizziness, or known ear canal issues without speaking with a clinician.
Possible risks include burns, ear canal irritation, or earwax impaction if not performed by a trained professional.
Our clinic adheres to strict safety protocols: trained clinicians, sterile equipment, continuous supervision, and aftercare guidance.
Aftercare
Keep ears dry for the first 24 hours and avoid inserting objects into the ear canal.
If you notice persistent irritation, hearing changes, or pain, contact Luxmedics Clinic promptly.
Share any new symptoms or concerns with your clinician at your next visit.
