Hopi Ear Candle Treatment
Hopi Ear Candles (often shortened to Ear Candles) are hollow tubes traditionally made from organically
grown flax and beeswax. They provide a non-invasive treatment of the ears which are used to treat a
variety of conditions.
How do Hopi Ear Candles work?
The hollow candle acts like a chimney. When the candle is lit at the top,
there is a mild suction which will draw out impurities from the ear into the lower section of the candle. The
rising air inside the ear then sets up a vibration which gently massages the eardrum. This helps to regulate
the pressures involved inside the ear. The effect is sometimes described as a "lighter feeling" in the head
and ear.
The flow of air creates a circulation of concentrated vapour; this is
soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas. The warmth of the
flow stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems. It also stimulates energy and reflex points. The
chimney effect inside the Ear Candle and the natural movement of the flame
serve to gently massage the eardrum. This has an effect of regulating ear
pressure.
Whilst the candle is burning a pleasant warmth can be felt around the ear,
head and neck area. After treatment, clients usually describe a
soothing, liberating, light sensation in the ear and head area.
