The candles are made from cotton or linen and contain beeswax, sage, St Johns Wort, Chamomile, vitamin A and honey extracts - all of which have healing properties.
As the candles burn, the ingredients are drawn down by gentle convection. This subtle movement has the effect of a gentle massage on the eardrum, plus the temperature in the ear canal increases slightly. This creates a change in pressure throughout the whole sinus system of the face, which can assist with drainage and help ease discomfort.
