Hopi Ear Candling

What is Hopi Ear Candle Treatment?

Also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy the healing property of the Hopi Ear Candle has two physical actions, firstly the slight chimney effect inside the ear candle and vibration of the rising air column gently massage the ear drum and promotes secretion in the sinuses also regulating and balancing ear pressure. Secondly the warmth stimulates blood circulation in the immediate area and invigorates the immune system and encourages toxins to flow away through the lymph glands at the same time important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.

Its historical roots can be found amongst the peoples of Siberia, Asia and Native North / South American Indians. Ancient rock paintings by the Hopi Indians in North America have shown the use of ear candles for traditional healing practises. The candles are named after this tribe, and are still made today on the basis of the old traditional formula using Sage, St Johns Wort, Pure bees wax, Honey extract, Camomile and Pure Essential oils.

What does the treatment involve?

During your first consultation I will document details covering your health history.

I will place the Hopi candle in the ear where it is lit and I will lightly cover the ear to steady the candle.

You may hear a slight crackling or fizzing noise as the candle burns and may also feel a nice warm feeling around the ear.

Once the candles have burned a soothing facial massage will follow, this will further stimulate lymphatic drainage giving relief to congestion.
