Hopi Ear Candles (some times also referred to as Thermo-auricular
therapy) are a hollow woven cotton tube made using only natural
ingredients with extracts of honey, pure beeswax and traditional
Indian herbs. For a treatment the client is made to feel comfortable
lying on a couch; the candle is then lit and placed gently over the
entrance to the auditory canal. During the burning process the ear
feels pleasantly warm. The treatment is finished of with a pressure
point face massage.
Recipients of this treatment can sometimes fall asleep. The whole
process is relaxing and non-invasive. The candles work on a chimney
principle, drawing any impurities/wax to the surface where they are
gently removed. It is always important to do both ears, to satisfy the
principle of balance.
Hopi Ear Candles are a gentle, non invasive treatment best suited to
help alleviate:
- Excessive or compacted wax.
- Pressure regulation in cases of headache and migraine.
- Irritations in the ears or sinuses.
- Sinusitis, 'Glue ear' and Rhinitus.
- Noises in the ear (i.e.Tinnitus).
- Ear problems related to swimming, diving and water.
- Relaxation and stress relief.
A treatment lasts approx 45 minutes.
