Hopi Ear Candles
(Thermo Auricular Therapy)
Ear candles may not be the first
thing that you think of to treat ear, nose and throat problems, but they have been used as a healing remedy for centuries
by the people of Asia and North America.
Ear candles are used to treat
many ailments, including migraine and headaches, sore throats, sinusitis, tonsillitis, catarrh, irritation in the ear and
even excessive earwax - it is a relaxing, painless, soothing, cleansing treatment, which has a deep, and long lasting effect.
Ear candles are not candles as we know them, but in fact hollow tubes made by using a combination of herbal extracts
such as Sage, Chamomile, and St Johns Wort, which are blended in honey, organically grown linen and beeswax.
The treatment is gentle and relaxing and has a very soothing effect, making it ideal for children.
The candle is
gently placed into the ear canal and ignited. It is only burnt to within a specified point from the end
of the candle.
As it burns it produces a gentle hissing noise and warming heat, which in itself is very comforting
and relaxing . The candle works likes a chimney, drawing impurities from the ear canals.
The candle is then removed
and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged.
The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial
massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.
