Hopi Ear Candling, also known as thermal auricular therapy is a deeply relaxing, calming and soothing treatment offering real and marked benefits for many problems and conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat areas.
The hopi ear candle is lit at the top and the tapered end is gently placed into the ear, the therapist's hands are then placed lightly over the ear to steady the candle. Each candle takes about 10-15 minutes to burn.
When lit, the ear candles have a slight sucking action often referred to as the chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. The rising air inside the ear sets up a vibration which gently massages the ear drum. This can help to regulate the pressures involved inside the ear.
You may hear a slight crackling or fizzing noise as the hopi ear candle burns and may also feel warmth around the ear or a the ear may feel temporarily blocked.
Treatment is then repeated for the second ear and completed with an optional but recommended soothing sinus drainage facial massage.
Looking at the contents of the candles after a treatment can help a therapist to determine the effects of the treatment and suggest appropriate after-care advice, including when it would be advisable to have another treatment. The contents of candles at the end indicate the condition of the ears and how hard the candles have had to work. Any wax found in a candle after a treatment IS NOT EAR WAX. The Candles DO NOT draw wax out of ear, but they have been found to soften the wax so that it comes out naturally.
Many people find the use of hopi candles deeply relaxing and often fall asleep during treatment, some people use this treatment purely for stress relief and relaxation.
Ear candles can aid many conditions of the ears, nose, throat and head,including; hay fever, rhinitis, allergies, sinusitis, headaches, migraine, sore throats, chest infections, flu/colds, insomnia, catarrh, ear irritations, eczema, glue ear, tinnitus (noises in the ears), menieres syndrome, vertigo, excessive wax build up, nasal blockages, asthma, irregular pressure in the ears, hearing impairment, stress, relaxation, snoring, labyrinthitis, neuralgia of a facial nerve, bell’s palsy, blocked tear duct, swimmers ear, and travel (motion) sickness.
