Hopi Ear Candling (Thermo Auricular Therapy)
The Hopi Indians are the oldest pueblo people, renowned for their medicinal
knowledge, also highly regarded spiritually. Candling has been used by many
cultures since ancient times as a natural effective therapy. In our culture
we can enjoy the benefit from the calming and medicinal effects of this age-old
Indian relaxation ceremony.
The Benefits of Ear Candling
The treatment induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure
in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It can relieve earache, blockage, headache,
migraine, sinusitis, rhinitis, colds, flu, tinnitus, stress, and nervous tension.
The physical effects can bring about a sense of calmness and deep relaxation.
The Treatment
This will begin with a short consultation and medical history. The ears
will be examined with an Otoscope, to check for infection or irregularities.
The client will then lie on his/her side and listen to relaxing music. A candle
is gently placed into the auditory canal, where it is held in place by my hands.
It takes about 10 minutes for the candle to burn down to the safety filter,
we will then repeat the process by turning over. This is followed by a 15 minute
facial massage to encourage lymph drainage from the head and neck area.
How the Candles work
The candles work on a chimney principle, the movement of the flame creates
a vibration of air in the candle which has a massage-like effect on the eardrum.
Secretion flow is stimulated and vapour collects and draws impurities or deposits
to the surface. The deposits can be found in the ear candle wax residue at
the end of the treatment.
The Ear Candles
I use the original Biosun Hopi Ear Candles, they are a safe and natural
product made by hand from Pure Beeswax, Honey extract, Sage, St John’s
Wort, Camomile and pesticide free, untreated cotton. These ear-candles are
a certified medical product according to EC guidelines. 93/42 (EEC).
