About Hopi Ear Candling

Many people suffer from blocked ears, constantly ringing ears or glue ear. Many of our children complain of swimmers ear, leading to headaches, feeling like there is water trapped. The solution can be as simple as an Ear Candling treatment.

For Hundreds of years the American Hopi Indian tribes used the gentle art of ear candling, known today as "Thermotherapy" to cleanse the ears.

The basic technique involves the use of a hollow candle, which looks like a thick straw. The candle is saturated in 100 per cent Bees Wax and contains a blend of Herbs which release a gentle vapour when the candle is lit to soothe and calm the ear and arrest any infection that maybe harbouring inside the ear.

The candle is lit at one end and the other end is gently placed at the very opening of the ear.

The flame at the top of the candle creates a vacuum, which gently encourages the excess wax in the ear to come away and work its way up the candle so there is no mess and no risk to the client. The body will release only old dirty wax and will quickly replace with clean wax that is a honey colour and a much more pleasant.

The ear candle technique is ideal for removing decayed and polluted wax which can have insects, Candida (Yeast infection) or a fungal infection lodged inside the Auditory Canal.

Children are especially susceptible to ear infections because the inside of the Auditory Canal slants horizontal unlike adults which slant vertical and don't attract bacteria as often.

Ear candling is extremely relaxing and toddlers often look forward to a treatment as it gives them instant relief from the symptoms of congestion, earache and discomfort that accompanies teething, colds and flue.

Adults are amazed at the build up of excess wax over the years and the tremendous relief and comfort ear candling can give with only one treatment.

Ear candling is recommended especially for the symptoms of: Sinus, Glue Ear, Hearing Difficulties, Allergies, Ear Ache, Tinnitus (Ringing), Headache, Sore Throats, Swimmers Ear Stress, Anxiety and Depression.

After Treatment a soothing Scalp and Facial Massage is applied to release mucus and congestion.
