The latest treatment we are now offering at Pebbles is Hopi Ear Candling.

Despite the name, the ‘candles’ are in fact hollow tubes made in the traditional Hopi Indian way by using a combination of herbal extracts such as Sage, Chamomile and St. John’s Wort , which are blended with honey, organically grown linen and beeswax.

During Ear Candle treatment the candles work in three phases, the first being a chimney effect where a gentle suction draws out debris from the ear. Next, the mild heat stimulates the blood and lymph circulation, boosting the immune system, therefore boosting the body’s natural cleansing action. Finally a regulation of the pressure within the sinuses.

You do not need to be worried about being burnt. The candles have a filtering system and no residue can enter the ear. You will feel a warming sensation but the effect is gentle and relaxing.
