Hopi Ear Candling

What is Hopi Ear Candling?

Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. Its name is taken from the Hopi Indians of North Arizona, USA and means 'peaceful people'.

The process of Hopi candling involves a specially designed hollow candle being inserted just inside the ear canal. The candle is then lit and the suction that is formed draws the impurities from within the ear. This process is known as the chimney effect. The rising air gives the ear drum a gentle massage and also helps to regulate ear pressure. A small amount of ear wax is also removed during the treatment.

The ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.

Hopi Ear Candles can help with:

• Tinitus, compacted ear wax and glue ear
• Sore throats and hay fever
• Headache and migraine
• Rhinitis and sinusitis and 
• Catarrh and asthma
• Stimulation of blood and energy flow
• Regulation of pressure in ears and head
• Relaxation in conditions of anxiety and stress
• Stimulation of lymphatic system and metabolism

During a treatment, an initial consultation is given to ensure the treatment is right for the patient.  They are then asked to lie on their side on a therapy bed where the practitioner gently inserts a candle in the first ear and then the other.  The treatment is then finished with a lovely ear and facial massage.
