❌NO NO NO TO EAR HOPI CANDLES
❌ NO NO NO TO OLD STYLE SYRINGING
❌ NO NO NO TO UNTRAINED!!!!
I’m all for healthy competition, but with another ear wax removal post appearing locally advertising Ear Candles as an ear irrigation (water) service, it’s important to know that expertise and safety are key:
✅ Medical Professional
✅ Experience in Ear Care
✅ Modern irrigation with controlled water pressure - Gold standard in UK
✅Micro-suction - another UK Gold standard practice
❌ Old-style syringing – banned in UK clinical practice due to safety risks
❌ No qualification or experience – not safe for ear care
❌ 1-day or half-day courses – insufficient training for safe treatment
❌ Ear Hopi Candles - strongly discouraged by ENT specialists and health authorities in Spain and the UK. They offer no proven benefits and can cause burns, blockages, or permanent injury
Always check qualifications, experience, and that the practitioner has the correct insurance, as coverage for ear care is very specific. Your ears deserve professional care. 💙
