Course Description
Ear Candling (technically
known as Thermal Auricular Therapy) is an ancient natural therapy,
involving the use of ear candles to help address conditions such as
excessive or compacted ear wax, glue ear, sinusitis, rhinitis, ringing
in the ears, congestion from colds / flu, headaches and migraines.
It is a gentle,
relaxing
and non-invasive treatment that is an extremely valuable skill to add to
any therapy practice. This course is highly practical and will teach you
how to apply a thermal auricular treatment safely and effectively to
workplace standards. |
