Hopi Ear Candles

The Hopi Ear Candle is a natural, ancient therapy handed down by many civilisations including Greeks and Egyptians who used ear candles for healing rituals. The practise as we know it today reached us via the Hopi (Meaning Peaceful People) Indians of North Arizona about 18 years ago. Despite the name CANDLES, they are in fact hollow tubes, which are completely natural, made from linen covered in beeswax and herbs by traditional methods. The herbs infuse down the ear to aid the healing process.

The candle acts as a chimney when lighted and placed in the ear. The vibrations from the hot air rising up through the candle gently massage the eardrum by creating a swirling current of warm air and a vacuum which ‘draws up’ moisture within the ear and gently removes the built up earwax. During the treatment a pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame is heard.

The treatment is non invasive and induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and balance of pressure within the ears, forehead and sinuses. The removal of built up wax and moisture, not only helps with hearing, it can also effect and help other discomforts such as snoring, sinusitis, allergy problems, pain/pressure when flying, glue ear, lymphatic drainage congestion, headaches, ear noise, sore throats, ear infections, vertigo, improvement in sense of smell and easier breathing. To finish the treatment the ears and face are massaged.
