Hopi Candle Therapy

Hopi ear candles are named after the native American tribe who first introduced this therapy to the West. The Hopi nation are renowned for their extensive knowledge of healing and their spiritual lifestyle. Translated Hopi means "peaceful ones".

Ear candles have been used widely throughout North America and Asia and although the current treatment has come to westerners from the Hopi tribe, the use of ear candles to treat ear problems has been known for centuries. Ear candles have been used by the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks.

Ear candles may not be the first thing that you think of to treat ear, nose and throat problems. However the people of Asia and North America as a spiritual and healing remedy have used them for centuries. In Europe the candles are used to treat many ailments, including migraine and headaches, glue ear in children, catarrh, sore throats, sinusitis, tonsillitis, ‘flu and excessive ear wax.

During Ear Candle treatment - known as THERMO-AURICULAR THERAPY - the candles work in three phases, the first being a chimney effect where a gentle suction, draws out debris from the ear. Next, the mild heat stimulates the blood and lymph circulation, boosting the immune system, therefore boosting the body’s natural cleansing action. Finally a regulation of the pressure within the sinuses.

You do not need to be worried about being burnt. The candles have a filtering system and no residue can enter the ear. You will feel a warming sensation but the effect is gentle and relaxing.

Many people report an immediate release of pressure in their head after just one treatment session, although; depending on the condition, a number of sessions may be required to ease an ongoing problem fully.

Treatments are recommended at 7 day intervals initially over 3-4 weeks. Further preventative sessions should be at 4-6 weeks intervals.
