Ear Candling Ear candling is an ancient mild and natural therapy and has been used by the Native American Indian for many years.
Hopi Ear Candling is a gentle, non-invasive treatment which can help with a whole range of conditions and is suitable for children and adults.
The candles are a hollow tube made from beeswax and herb oils. The candle is held securely in the ear orifice and allowed to burn down to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. The face and head are protected at all times. The heat produced works as a chimney effect and in combination with the oils, softens the ear wax and draws it into the candle. Once the candle has been removed the surrounding area is massaged.
The treatment is useful for snoring, sinusitis, rhinitis, ear wax, and tinnitus.
It can be an alternative to syringing and can also help with stress, headaches, migraines, colds & flu symptoms.
