Thermal Auricular Therapy

Hopi Ear candles are named after the Native American tribe who first introduced this gentle therapy to Europe. The Hopi nation is renowned for its extensive knowledge of healing and spiritual lifestyle.

The Hopi Candles are about 12 inches long and are hollow inside. I use Biosun Ear Candles which have obtained the CE mark(93/42EEC). The candles are made up of 100% beeswax, valuable honey extracts, organic grown flax and beta-carotene. They are then combined with powdered Indian medicinal herbs such as sage, St John's Wort and Chamomile. I also use Biosun candles which contain essential oils such as Peppermint, Lemongrass, Orange and Lemon and many more.

Using one ear at a time, one candle is placed gently into the outer ear canal and lit. A light suction action (Chimney effect) occurs inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the eardrum and promote secretion in the front and Para nasal sinuses. This has an immediate effect of balancing ear pressure. Clients often describe a soothing and warming sensation.

Each candle takes around 12 minutes to burn down. After each candle is removed I massage the lymphatic system down both sides of the neck. The treatment ends with a relaxing but firm acupressure massage on the face and neck - (optional).

General Benefits include; increased blood circulation and activation of the lymphatic system.
