HOPI EAR CANDELING

Hopi ear candles date back to ancient times, used by the Chinese, Tibetans, Mayans and American Indian Cultures. They are made with a cotton tube, which is impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils. Hopi ear candles act like a chimney, forming a vacuum that draws up and away impurities from within the ear though the effects of the heat rising. This in turn regulates the pressure system within the ear and the head, making the candle treatment suitable for many conditions.

The hollow ‘candle’ is gently placed in the ear and the part furthest from the ear is lit, the burning action of the Hopi ear candle infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapour, which is drawn into the auditory canal. This performs a massaging function as well as softening and drawing out any physical and emotional debris.
