Hopi Ear Candling (or Thermal Auricular Therapy)
Hopi Ear candling is a gentle and natural treatment involving hollow ‘candles’ which are made of rolls of organic cotton and beeswax, impregnated with oils and herbs.
Hopi Ear Candling reached the West via the Native American Hopi Indian Tribes, who introduced them to the first visiting Europeans. ‘Hopi’ means ‘people of peace’
Treatment involves lying on your side on a therapy couch, while a hopi ear candle is lit and rested lightly in your ear. A combination of the chimney effect and the vapours of the oils and herbs then draw out impurities, and balances ear pressure, giving pain relief, clearer breathing and an improved sense of smell.
The treatment is then repeated for the other ear.
Hopi Ear Candles are effective in treating:-
Blocked ears, earache, colds and flu
Headaches and migraine
Sinusitis
Tinnitus, vertigo and labyrinthitis
Excess or compacted wax
Air pressure (book a treatment before or after air travel)
Glue ear
