What should I expect during and after a session?

When lit, the candle produces a gentle chimney effect: warm air rises through the hollow cone while mild heat spreads around the outer ear. You and your child will hear a soft crackling or hissing sound — this is normal and comes from the wax and essential oils burning. A faint aromatic vapour (herbal, slightly spicy from the cinnamon and clove) fills the immediate area. The sensation is a pleasant warmth, not heat; if it feels hot, the candle is too close or angled incorrectly. No suction occurs, and no earwax is drawn out — any residue inside the burned candle is burnt wax and propolis, not ear contents. Afterward, the outer ear may feel slightly warm or damp; wipe gently. Some children feel relaxed or sleepy. If any discomfort, dizziness, or irritation arises, stop immediately and rinse the outer ear with lukewarm water.
