An exceptional instruction book that is both clear and concise!
As a Beauty Therapy lecturer I attended the `Ear Candling' course that runs in association with this book in order to further my continual professional development (CPD). It is clear that the authors' have much expertise in this subject as this book compliments the course extremely well. Not only is it concise; it is clearly laid out with excellent illustrations; particularly of anatomy and physiology. This book is well written and gives superb all-round instruction for the Beauty Therapist in this popular therapy.
