Naturhelix ear candles have been manufactured in Europe since 2003 to the highest standards of safety and quality. The unique gauze cloth safety filter prevents any candle residue dropping into the ear (which prevents the ears itching after an ear candling session), but allows the heat and vapours to circulate around the ear and surrounding area to promote beneficial effects. The end of the candle to be inserted into the ear is specially designed for comfort. Step by step user intructions are provided to ensure candles are used safely and effectively.
