Acupuncture has been used for over 3,000 years. The goal of acupuncture is to create harmony within the body by restoring the flow of Qi (pronounced “chi”€), the life force involved in all body functions- breathing, heartbeat, metabolism and even emotions. The acupuncture needles are flexible steel needles and are very thin. Disposable sterile needles are used. These are placed in meridians that stimulate the production of endorphins. It is usually a painless procedure. The theory proposes that the stimulation of the acupuncture points prevents pain impulses from reaching the brain.

The practice of ear candling is an ancient practice known in other countries and has resurfaced as a viable treatment recently in the United States. Ear candling is used to cleanse the ears and is beneficial for treating those with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), Otitis Media (middle ear infections), ear aches, sinusitis and consequential headaches, and hearing loss due to impacted ear wax, labyrinthitis or dizziness due to inner ear disturbances. The procedure of ear candling is simple and both ears are candled in about 40 minutes. An ear candle is a long hollow tube made up of wrapped muslin that is coated in beeswax. The candle is placed into the ear forming a seal. When the candle is lit, the smoke from the candle is emitted into the middle ear. As the candle burns it aids as a warm vacuum€ which draws out impurities from the ear canal.
