Hopi Ear Candling

What is Ear Candling?

Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.

How Does Ear Candles Work?

The candles are made from the natural ingredients of bees wax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle “chimney”, although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.

What To Expect

Your head is moved on to one side, a candle is gently placed in to the ear, the therapists hand holds the candle steady, the top of the candle is lit. Whilst the candle is burning the therapist gives a soothing head massage with the other free hand. It takes approximately 10- 15 minutes for the candle to burn.
