What exactly is Hopi Ear Candling?

Hopi ear candles are an ancient and natural therapy that can offer relief from issues such as sinus problems, compacted ear wax, tinnitus and headaches. Hopi ear candle treatments can also help to reduce inflammation in the ears and sinuses, relieve the symptoms of hay fever, rebalance your body’s natural flow, and generally calm and relax you when life is stressful.

Ear Candling, also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy, is an ancient practice that involves placing a hollow candle made from beeswax and herbs into the ear canal and lighting it.

This creates a gentle vacuum effect, drawing out impurities and creating a soothing and relaxing sensation.The traditional ear candles were made by rolling a thin strip of beeswax and herbal ingredients, such as sage and chamomile, into a hollow tube. This would then be lit at one end and placed gently into the ear canal.

As the candle burned down, a soft crackling sound can be heard, and warm air and herbal essences are released, creating a sense of relaxation and tranquillity. Throughout history, different cultures have adapted the practice of ear candling to suit their specific beliefs and traditions.

Whilst the techniques and materials may vary, the underlying principle remains the same - using heat and suction to cleanse and restore balance to the ear.

The treatment stimulates flow of lymphatic fluid, alleviating stress, anxiety and insomnia and promoting a state of emotional balance and wellbeing.

Many people find the gentle warmth and crackling sound of the candles to be deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. From physical relief to emotional relaxation, restoring harmony in the body and vitality. Can support clarity and focus.
