What is a Hopi Ear Candle?Ear candles are an ancient, mild and natural therapy and have been used by the Native American Indian for many years. The Hopi ear candle is not a candle as such, but a hollow tube made out of cotton flax. To stiffen the flax, they are impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils (in particular chamomile, sage and St John's Wort), the healing properties of which have been known to the Hopi tribe for hundreds of years. The making of the candles is a complex process and all genuine Hopi candles are made in the traditional manner. The TreatmentThe treatment is a very gentle and relaxing and may take up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated. The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is only allowed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged. The treatment is then repeated on the other ear and upper chakra relaxation is carried out which is optional. What Conditions Can Ear Candles Help?
Ear candles can help with the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache
and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also suitable for the
treatment of headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with
perforated eardrums, where grommets are in place or those who may have an
allergy to the ingredients. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children. The
number of treatments depends on how long the candle takes to burn down. Each
treatment takes approximately 45-60 minutes and is very relaxing. It is
advisable to put a few drops of warm olive oil in each ear for three days before
treatment as this will help to soften the wax which will make it easier to
remove. On the day of the treatment, you will be advised to remove all makeup
and earring |
