:: Hopi Ear Candling (Thermal Auricular Therapy) 
What are Hopi Ear Candles? It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles to purify, cleanse and heal on a spiritual basis and have been shown, in ancient artworks to be used on a more physical basis. The Native American Hopi (“peaceful people”) Indians of North Arizona continue their use in the modern world. The candles available today are made to a traditional formula, handed down through the generations. They contain beeswax, honey extract, sage, St Johns Wort, camomile, beta-carotene and flax. How does Hopi Ear Candling work? It is thought that burning the candle may create a mild chimney effect. This causes a very gentle vibration, which may help equalise the pressures either side of the eardrum. The mild warmth produced may soften earwax and promote the natural secretions within the ear canal. Hopi Ear Candling may help with:
This treatment is suitable for children and under 16’s, with parent/guardian authority/presence. The Hopi Ear Candling Treatment You will be asked to fill in a brief questionnaire to ensure that Hopi Ear Candling is a suitable therapy for you. This also gives you the opportunity of letting your therapist know of any particular area of concern, that you feel you might need help with. The treatment will be fully explained to you and you will be made comfortable, fully clothed whilst laid on your side on a treatment couch and asked to relax and perhaps, listen to some music. A candle will be gently placed into your ear canal. Once the candle is lit, a pleasant crackling sound may be audible and a warming sensation may be felt inside your ear. Every care is taken to ensure none of the cool, powdered ash can fall onto you. Once the candle has had time to do its work, it will be removed and you will be asked to turn over for treatment on the other ear. At the end of the treatment session you will be asked to lie on your back so that a relaxing facial massage, designed to stimulate drainage and energy, can be given.
At the end of your treatment you will be offered fresh water to drink. It is advisable not to have a large meal or any alcohol before receiving your treatment. Try to plan for a relaxing period after your treatment, if at all possible. You should experience a sense of relaxation and calm after the treatment as well as reduction in some of the previous symptoms. Where longer-term issues are being treated, it is possible for slight headaches or ears ‘popping’ to occur afterwards. Earwax residue can find its way to the outer part of the ear over 1-2 days. Further treatments may be recommended and will be discussed with you at this time. Please note that Hopi Ear Candling is not suitable vegans or for anyone who has an active ear infection or inflammation, grommets in place, previously perforated eardrum or if allergic to any candle ingredients.
