Hopi Ear Candles
The use of ear candles can be traced back to the Indians in North and South America, as well as having historic roots in Asia.
It is widely believed that the treatment was performed as a spiritual cleansing by the Indians before meditating.
The Hopi Indians of North-East Arizona are said to be responsible for bringing the knowledge of this ancient treatment to Europe.

The candles work through the vibration caused by the rising air column and the pressure inside the ear candle which helps to massage the ear drum, thereby promoting secretion in the sinuses.
This regulates the air pressure and a light soothing sensation can often be felt in the ear and head area.
The warmth stimulates the formation of blood vessels which helps to boost the immune system and gently stimulate the flow of lymph.
Whilst the client lies on their side, the candle is gently inserted into the entrance of ear.
The top of the candle is then lit and the candle is kept vertical as it burns down.
Clients normally experience a crackling/fizzing noise during the treatment, and warmth.
Once the candle has burned down, it is gently removed and extinguished.
The client then rests for 5-10 minutes, whilst the ear is massaged.
Good quality cantles contain a filter to prevent any possible candle residue from entering the ear.
Most good quality candles contain 100% pure beeswax, honey extract, Woven cotton or linen.
