Does Thermo-Auricular Therapy® help tinnitus? In order to determine this, we must first understand what Thermo-Auricular Therapy® is.
The word “thermo” means heat, and “auricular” means relating to the ear. Hence, this is a treatment that is performed when a specially trained aromatherapist holds a lit Biosun candle next to the ear. This art was probably practiced by ancient Egyptians as part of their medical treatments (supposedly using reeds instead of candles), as well as by the Native American Indians only a few centuries ago.
Insurance companies have traditionally refused to cover such treatments. However, there is a growing body of case studies that demonstrate the efficacy of Thermo-Auricular Therapy® by Sue Maunsell and Linda Stokes of the United Kingdom.
Sue Maunsell and Linda Stokes claim to have had extensive experience using this therapy to treat patients suffering from colds, influenza, tinnitus, dulled hearing and balance-related conditions. Furthermore, this therapy has purportedly been successful in treating general motion sickness, headaches and migraines.
What candle is used?
The Biosun candle is made of highest quality ingredients. The base of the tube is linen. This is marinated in a mixture of Sage, Chamomile, St. Johns Wort, along with oils and honey. Once it is rolled, it is sprayed lightly with beeswax to hold it together.
Practitioners of this therapy have noticed that it has a calming effect on their patients, in belief that this helps balance the traditional energies infused in every person.
Can Thermo-Auricular Therapy® help relieve your tinnitus? Only you can say for sure.
Yes, I would love to get more information on this. I have been having tinnitus for the past few months. It seems to be getting worse. I have ear pressure, sensitive to sound, pressure etc.
If there is anything you can do to help aliviate the pain and stress in my ears would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing more.

Jannis-
It’s very important that you visit a doctor, like an audiologist. He might not be able to “cure” you, but he will be able to give you a better idea what’s causing the tinnitus. And there are many causes. I feel that the best therapy is a multi-pronged approach. Reduce as many triggers as possible. Exercise, relax, get enough sleep, limit or cut out salt, keep your weight normal, take your vitamins and supplements, and if necessary, keep the white noise on 24/7. Nobody is able to promise you an actual “cure” because there isn’t one- yet. It’s all about coping. Good luck!
