Once you are in a comfortable position laying down on your side, the candle (a hollow tube) will be gently placed just inside the ear canal and lit. The candle will be held firmly in place to prevent any of the ash from falling in or around the ear. You will also feel a gentle massaging sensation to the ear drum and possibly some popping of the ear. The candle creates a negative pressure, drawing wax and debris out of the ear canal.***

_{*** Do not be concerned this treatment is not at all dangerous and is performed hundreds of thousands of times every day throughout indonesia.}
