HOPI
EAR CANDLING
(Thermo Auricular Therapy)
History
It
was believed that Hopi Ear Candling was first introduced to the West
by the Native American Hopi Indian Tribe who were renowned for their
extensive knowledge of healing. The use of Hopi Ear Candling can be
traced back to the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Translated
Hopi means “peaceful ones”.
Years ago, people made there own
candles, often from rolled up paper, tobacco leaves, pottery and
glass, impregnated or dipped with beeswax and honey. Fortunately today
we are able to use Hopi Ear Candles, certified safe and medically
licensed.
What is a Hopi Ear Candle?
It consists of a hollow tube
about 22cm in length, made out of natural cotton, impregnated with
honey, sage, St John’s Wort, camomile & beeswax. Each candle contains
a filter which prevents any candle residue from entering the ear.
Each candle has a burning time of 10-12 minutes per candle.
How does it work?
The
candle acts like a chimney, a gentle suction action and the movement
of the flame creates a vibration of air generating a massage-like
effect on the eardrum, which in turn loosens debris from the ear. The
mild heat stimulates the blood and lymph circulation, boosting the
immune system. It has a knock on effect to the middle and inner ear
and starts drainage and regulation of the pressure to the sinuses.
Treatment
Burning a candle in
one ear and then the other. It is a safe procedure; filters prevent
candle wax from entering the ear canal. The candles are only burned
down to the marked safety line. During the candle burning, you may
feel warmth, hear a faint crackling sound and sometimes may
temporarily feel the ear blocked. A facial sinus drainage massage,
and a glass of water to sip (the effect that swallowing has on the
Eustachian tube is rebalancing the pressure), completes the therapy.
The candle remains will be opened and analysed.
