Hopi Ear Candling or Thermal Ear Candling
​
Ear candling – or thermal ear candling therapy refers to an ancient, complementary therapy designed to help treat conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat.
​
This non abrasive technique involves placing a hollow tube, or candle, made of cotton and soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs into the ear in order to create negative pressure almost like a chimney affect and facilitate the removal of excess wax and impurities.
​
Ear candle treatment can vary according to the clients needs, as the shape and size of the candles can change, as well as the ingredients impregnated into the lining. However all are considered to have the same benefits, especially for problems such as sinus issues, tinnitus, compacted ear wax and headaches. Ear candling can also be used to promote deep relaxation and have therapeutic benefits which can help to relieve stress and revitalize the body.
