HOPI EAR CANDLING

Thermal auricular therapy, is an ancient natural therapy involving the use of ear candles to help address conditions such as excessive or compacted ear wax, glue ear, ringing in the ears, tinnitus, congestion from colds/flu, sinusitis, rhinitis, headaches and migraines. Ear candling is such a pleasant, relaxing and non-invasive therapy, it is also suitable for children. The treatment incorporates a complimentary gentle lymphatic drainage massage, to the ears, neck and face.

What are Hopi Ear Candles?

They are hollow tubes made of unbleached cotton, which are soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs. Once lit, the candles works on a chimney principle, causing the warm air inside it to rise, which creates a vacuum at the bottom. This vacuum gently stimulates the ear and draws any excess wax and impurities to the surface, to be gently removed. In addition to eliminating the wax naturally, they work to equalise the pressure in the ears.

What happens in a treatment?

The client should lie in a comfortable position on his/her side, with the head supported on a pillow. The lit candles is then inserted carefully into the outer ear, continually supported in a vertical position and the flame is allowed to burn. When the candle has burnt down to within a short distance of the marked red line, it is gently removed and extinguished in some water. The procedure is then repeated in the other ear.

Most clients find the treatment extremely soothing and relaxing and leave with a sense of wellbeing and reduced pressure in the ears or head. Initially an improvement in hearing, sense of smell and easier nasal breathing can be felt. However, improvements can continue for 24-48 hours after a treatment.

"Who would have thought, I have had my ears syringed and sinuses washed out when I have suffered from sinusitis and hay fever over the years, And struggle with both ears and on the off chance I asked Kerry how it works, I wasn't totally convinced but thought I would give it a go to see if it helped even a little. Well what can I say but a big thank you to Kerry for not only taking the time to explain but giving me the Hopi treatment and alleviating my problem, I am truly amazed" - source facebook, Linda G 8th July 2015
