Thermal Auricular Candling (Hopi Ear Candling)

Some of the benefits of receiving this treatment are:

Relaxation
Calms the mind
Soothes the head and ears
Creates a feeling of total Well-Being

How the candles work

The candles are lit and placed in the ears, a light vacuum occurs, therefore drawing any wax or impurities out of the ear into the candle.
The warmth generated from the candles produces a good feeling and helps to balance the pressure in the ears and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful to earache, headaches, ear noises, stress and fluid in the ears.

The Treatment

Only traditional BIOSUN candles are used during our Hopi Ear treatments. The client will be asked to lie on their side, a protective cloth with a hole in it will be placed over the ear facing upwards A lighted candle will be placed in the ear. Each candle can burn between eight and thirteen minutes. Once both ears have been candled the client will be asked to lie on their back and a face massage will follow. A treatment session lasts for approximately 45 minutes.
This is a relaxing treatment so not only do the ears and head area benefit, the whole body benefits to create a feeling of total well-being.
The History or Legend of Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi (pronounced Hopee) means to be humble and peaceful. Traditionally ear candles have been used by Shaman healers for generations. The Hopi people's historic roots are to be found in Asia, the Siberian prairies, and native North and South American Indians.
Ancient cliff paintings in the Grand Canyon show the candles importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies on the fire clan.

The Hopi, the oldest Peublo people have great medicinal knowledge and a high degree of spirituality, and follow traditional lives.

Ingredients and Safety

The Hopi people have shared their knowledge of these candles and how they are made with a German company called BIOSUN. BIOSUN have exclusive rights to the production of these candles and their sacred ingredients. The candles continue to be made by hand using the traditional recipe and regularly tested natural ingredients. They are certified medical products according to EC Guidelines 93/42 (EEC).

Each candle is made using cotton, pure beeswax, honey extract, Sage, St. Johns Wart, Chamomile and pure essential oils. The candles are hand made may therefore show signs of slight differences between each candle. For safety reasons each candle has a red line marking the maximum burn time, inside there is a filter to ensure that any candle residue does not re-enter the ear canal.
