THERMO-AURICULAR THERAPY (Hopi Ear Candle Treatment)

Ear candling has become increasingly popular in Europe in recent years

Hopi ear candle treatments can help pressure regulation in cases of sinusitis, colds, flu, glue-ear, and many other common conditions (see How Hopi Ear Candles Work).

The hollow candle has a chimney effect and each ear treatment lasts between 12 – 15 minutes. This is concluded with a short relaxing massage routine to help drain sinus tubes, increase circulation of blood and lymph supply and stimulate the energy points.

Hopi means peaceful people, people of peace. The Hopi tribe were the first settled Pueblo Indians of the North American Continent. They lived in harmony with nature and respected Mother Earth, because true Hopi’s know that the earth is a living and developing being and that all things on it are her children.

It is through the Native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona, that the practice of ear candles was handed down through generations to reach the world today.

Ear candles are still made to an original recipe used by the Hopi Indians, by Biosun. Only natural ingredients are used, including valuable honey extracts, 100% pure beeswax, essential oil of sage, St. John’s Wort, Chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. Many years of scientific medical testing has resulted in the development of a special new efficient filter, which reliably prevents any excessive candle residue from entering the ear.

The candles work on a chimney effect, resulting in a mild suction, drawing any impurities to the surface enabling them to be removed. This has the effect of regulating the pressure in the head, ears and sinuses. Rising air and high energy light from the movement of the flame, penetrate through the candle tunnel, gently massaging the eardrum and stimulates energy points and reflex zones. The herbal extracts protect and sooth irritated zones. Heat from the candle stimulates the peripheral blood circulation, strengthens the cleansing circulation of the lymph glands and intensifies the immunological defence system. Most of the impurities are carried away through the candle “chimney effect”, or could work their way to the surface in the following 24-48 hours. Great care must be taken not to push any impurities back into the ear and you must certainly not attempt to remove with a cotton bud. If this should happen, gently massage around the ear with a suitable cream or lotion.

Whilst the candle is burning, you will experience a pleasant warm comfortable feeling and hear a cracking sound. The residue ash will not burn if it falls as it just turns to dust.
The Hopi ear candle treatment can help pressure regulation in cases of sinusitis, colds, flu, rhinitis, glue-ear, headaches, migraine, irritations in the ears, excessive or compacted wax in the ears, tinnitus, helps balance fluids in the Labyrinth – Vertigo – Meniere’s syndrome. It is also relaxing and calming in times of stress.

There are no known contra-indications but it is not advisable to use the candles in the case of a perforated ear-drum; if grommets are in place; if there is an ear infection; inflammation, or in the event of an allergic reaction to the contents of the candles.

The indications are supported by the experience over many years of doctors and naturopathic practitioners. They do not constitute a guarantee of medical efficacy and if you have ear pain or a serious hearing defect, please consult your own doctor.

After the thermo-auricular treatment, you will receive a short massage routine, which will help drain sinus tubes, increase circulation of blood and lymph supply and stimulate the energy points.
