How will I benefit?

As the candle burns the warmth softens ear wax and the chimney effect gently draws any debris outof the ear canal and up into the candle. The action of the flame gently massages the ear drum. Peripheral blood circulation is stimulated by the heat which in turn strengthens the lymphatic / immune system.

Massage of the energy points and reflex zones on the ears, and the stimulation of the sinus points on the face completes this soothing, cleansing experience.
