Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi ear candling is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. It is believed that the ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but much later on a purely physical basis.
However, the practice reached the modern world via the Native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona (it’s interesting to note that Hopi means peaceful people). Hopi ear candling otherwise known as thermo auricular therapy is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions.
The ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.
Top Quality Ear Candling Product
I use Biosun candles which are an all natural product and are made of organically grown flax, honey extracts, beeswax and powdered biologically grown herbs including camomile, sage and hypericum (St Johns Wort).
A treatment takes approximately 60 mins and includes a stimulating/invigorating scalp massage, and a finger tip facial massage at the end of the treatment. All work to enhance the candling effects, and activate further healing. Candling is suitable as a one off treatment for relaxation; however a short course is usually recommended when treating more specific problems to gain optimum results.
