Once lite the candle is thought to allow a balancing of pressure in the ears. The treatment is very plesant and comforting, helping to produce relaxation.
The candles contain sage, st. johns wort and camomile and honey which also produces a lovely aroma and has a soothing effect on irritation of the ear.
