Hopi Ear Candling , also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy are hollow tubes of organically grown flax, extracts of honey, beeswax and herbs.
Hopi Ear Candling came from the North American native Hopi Indians of North Arizona, where the shaman healers used the candles in rituals and healing. Interestingly, Hopi means ‘peaceful people’ and this therapy is indeed well known for its calming and relaxing effects.

What to expect:
The treatment involves the client laying on their side with the ear being treated facing up, the lit candle is then gently placed into the ear while the candle burns down. As the candle gently burns it creates a chimney effect creating a light vacuum. The flickering of the flame creates vibrations that massage the eardrum and herbal vapour swirls into the ear canal, helping to soothe and balance. As the candle burns many say it sounds like a fire softly crackling away and warmth in the ear add to the relaxing experience. The usual burn time for each candle is 10 – 15 minutes.

The treatment is followed by a massage of the outer ear and face, which complements the effects of the ear candling by helping to release blockages in the sinuses and ears. A complete treatment will take between 30 – 45 minutes.
