Can reflexology make me feel worse?

Occasionally what is known as a 'healing crisis' can occur. When an imbalance is found a temporary worsening of symptoms can be experienced, however this is normal and is an indication that the treatment is working and the healing process beginning.

After an ear candling treatment occasionally a temporary worsening of a hearing problem may occur and usually passes quickly. This can be caused by the loosening and softening of excessive wax within the ear which will work its way out.

Will reflexology tickle?

The pressure applied during a treatment is firm and as such the effect is generally not ticklish.

Will the candle residue go into the ear?

No - the candles are made with a filter inside which prevents anything going into the ear.

Does it help to have a treatment before taking a flight?

Yes - if you have no ear infection and if you suffer with ear or sinus problems, it is a good idea to have a treatment prior to your flight.

I suffer from a lot of ear wax and often have them syringed. Could I use these candles instead?

Yes you could. I have a number of clients who previously endured the discomfort of syringing but now visit me for hopi treatment instead.
