No. It should not hurt if done properly. It may itch a little as the yeast is being drawn into the ear canal. If you have any pain, you need to let us know immediately! Most people fall asleep during the process!
It takes approximately an 2 hours for the service.
That varies depending on your health . Most of the time we suggest that you do three sessions in a fairly short period of time. Say within a week or two. Sometimes it may take a few more sessions to get you completely cleared out. It is suggested to plan on a maintenance program, so that you don’t get plugged up again. A few times a year is what is recommended unless you have an excessive amount of ear wax build up, or you fight chronic ear infections, sinus problems, allergies or sore throats very often, if so, you should try at least once a month.
That is a candle that has been sectioned and cut open. The black at the top end is burned beeswax. Some of the white powder is the burnt linen that give the candle its shape. The other powdery stuff is yeast and cellular debris and the thicker dark yellow chunks are ear wax.
Many times if you hold the candle incorrectly and it doesn’t make a good connection with the ear canal, I’ve found that there are no chunks of wax, even though the candle is burning down. Earwaxes, can be dark yellow, brown and even green. I’ve seen big chunks and long strings come from the same ear.
When kids are old enough to lie still long enough to finish a session, it’s okay for them to have a treatment done. Usually we only use one candle and we don’t do the Bio-Touch and massage for children, so the session time is about 30 minutes.
It is not recommended to a have session done for anyone who has an active ear infection. You should see a medical professional to help get rid of the infection. Once the infection is gone, I would recommend going to a Chiropractor, to help realign the neck which may be tweaking the Eustachian Tubes and not letting them drain properly. Of course after the infection is gone, coning will be safe to do.
No! You should not have ear candling performed if you have any damage to the eardrum, ear tubes, congenital hearing loss, ankylosis of the stapes, acute mastoiditis, or recent surgical procedures to the ear.
We do charge a cancellation and No Show fee. Please refer to our Spa Etiquette & Guidelines page to read full details.
I have been very excited about my reaction to the series of foot baths that I have received from your office. I bought the treatments because I am always on my feet and they ache terribly by the end of the night. The baths soothed my feet while removing toxins from my system. The color of the water after my treatments changed dramatically as I progressed through the series. One of the things that was of interest to me was that my water changed to the color that indicates kidney issues. I later…
After falling down a flight of concrete stairs, I was pretty sure I would be in bad shape for quite awhile. Luckily for me, I work for Dr. Shaw and he began adjustments immediately. It was suggested that I try two new services that are being offered at Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, namely the Infrared Dome and the Chi Machine.Since I had never experienced either of these machines, I didn’t know what to expect. After a short amount of time (10 mins.) I felt a warming sensation from the inside of …
After my husband and I spent our anniversary with Debbie for a Spa Day, we almost needed to call someone to drive us home we were so relaxed! See you next year!
I felt very comfortable and learned about how food and toxins effect my body. I was very pleased to have this experience.
I came into Alternatives in Health Care seeking an all natural way to look younger, and Debbie has helped me achieve that! After my first derma rolling session, I noticed an all over tightening of my skin. By my third session, a nodule that I’ve had on my jaw line for a long time has decreased dramatically in size. I’m happy that I found Alternatives in Health Care. Debbie is friendly and professional; the atmosphere at her place is relaxing and soothing. I’ll be referring my frien…
Hi There! Jo from Rita Ranch. I’m going on vacation from 10/3-10/9. I would like to do the bundle deal of ionic footbaths when I get back. After 1 session, 3 raised dark blue varicose veins on my legs look like spider veins! My toenails haven’t looked this good for yrs! The bottoms of my feet aren’t dry as a bone and cracked! I was so incredibly tired that I was almost comatose. My butt is incredibly less cottage cheesy looking! The skin on my thighs is smoother and the back of my thig…
My fat wrap was a very nice experience. I’ll be interested in the nutritional cleanse in the near future.
For about three days every month I suffer from Severe PMS. The cramping and all over body aches are almost unbearable and interfere with my daily life. I have tried every over the counter medicine and even some prescription drugs and nothing seems to help. Then I tried the far infrared belt and my prayers were answered! My pain seemed to just melt away and I was able to actually keep up with my normal activities. But the best part was the relief that I got lasted! Now when I feel that time comi…
Wow!! What could I possibly say? I never knew or saw a foot bath machine that could show and teach you so much about what a person has in their body and show all of the toxins that are in there. I would love to do more of this cleansing stuff again sometime!
