Hopi Ear Candle Treatments
Also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy, Hopi Ear Candling is a gentle non invasive treatment used to treat a number of conditions of the ears, nose and throat.
Used by the the native American Hopi Indians, (Hopi means peaceful people), the practise of using ear candles soon spread and begun to increase in popularity.
The candles are made from cotton, beeswax & honey. The candle is then lit and the non burning end is inserted into the ear. As the candle burns down, the heat creates a vacuum which draws up any impurities to the surface for elimination. The client may hear some gentle crackling and hissing sounds, but this normal. The treatment iself is highly relaxing.
The treatment is carried out after an intial consultation to ensure suitability and includes a gentle head massage. The treatment lasts for 30-40 minutes including consultation and aftercare advice. Results may vary from patient to patient and a series of treatments are recommended spaced across a number of weeks.
Hopi Ear Candling may help with:
- Compacted ear wax in the ears
- Sinus congestion and irritation
- Glue ear, tinnitius, colds, flu
- To help restore pressure in the ears (i.e. for those who frequent fly, swim or scuba dive).
Hopi ear candles are not recommended for use if you have any inflammation in the ear or ear infections, grommets, perforated ear drums, or allergies to any of the ingrediants in the candle. If you have recently undergone a major operation or have a heavy cough or cold then I would also recommend that you delay the treatment. If in any doubt, then please consult your G.P.
