Hopi Ear Candle Therapy
Also know as Thermal-Auricular Therapy and Coning is derived from ancient practices which have their roots in many cultures, particularly Siberian, Native North and South American Indian and Asian. It brings together the use of fire for light, warmth and relaxation with the traditional use of smoke for cleansing, release and purification.
Hopi Ear Candles are quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi ear candle is actually a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinuses, and aid hearing problems.
The candles are made from natural ingredients that include sage, St John’s wort, camomile and beta-carotene.
As the candle burns it creates a very mild suction, gentle warmth and a subtle vibration within the structures of the ear. Each treatment lasts approximately forty five minutes and is complemented by a soothing facial massage which helps to amplify the effect of the candles.
Many clients find the treatment relaxing. As well as the relieved feeling that comes from reduced pressure in the ears and sinuses, clients may experience a general calming effect. The treatment is suitable for children and is a good alternative for people who have found syringing uncomfortable.
Some of the conditions which may benefit from this treatment include:-
- Excessive or compacted ear wax
- Tinnitus
- Sinus problems
- Headaches
- Ear aches
- Catarrh
- Pressure regulation
- Mild hearing loss
The treatment is also very relaxing making it ideal for anyone suffering from stress or stress related problems.
I only use Original Biosun ear candles which are medical products class IIa according to medical device directive 93/42/EEC.
Treatment approx 1 hour
