Hopi Ear Candling is a safe, gentle and relaxing treatment, which induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful to ease excessive earwax, headaches, ear noise, stress and nervousness. It can be used by adults and children (over the age of 5 years), and is a stress and pain free alternative to syringing.

Ear candles have been used for centuries by many cultures, but most recently take their name from the Native American Hopi Tribe. The ear candles are long hollow tubes with a filter in one end and are made of natural ingredients.

Whilst lying fully clothed and comfortable on a couch, one end is gently inserted a little way into the ear, the candle is then lit and allowed to burn down to the filter. The treatment takes 10-12 minutes for each ear and is combined with a facial pressure points to induce a wonderful feeling of relaxation.

  • 1 Day Course: Learn how to perform a full Thermal Auricular Treatment.

--------------------------------------------------

Ear candling is a therapeutic form of bodywork that can be used successfully to treat issues related to the ear and head area. This treatment was used in India, China, Tibet, Egypt, Mayan, Aztec and American Indian cultures. Sometimes referred to as Ear Coning or Thermal Auricular treatment. The method used varied considerably, but the desired results were always the same.

It is further believed that Ear Candling performed on a regular basis will enhance meditation practices by heightening the sensitivity. For centuries, many cultures have known that directing smoke into the ear canal relieves earache pain. Warmth and smoke from candling may assist the body's natural process to excrete impacted or infected earwax and stimulate the body's natural ability to heal. Our ears work very hard for us and it is vital that we care for them. They respond to tender, loving care! Candling our ears can promote an emotional and spiritual release of trapped energy.

The actual treatment can be very relaxing and many people notice an immediate release of stress and tension. It can increase mental functioning, sensory perception and it can complement other body work. It can be used to enhance meditation and increase our awareness into the ways we listen and the ways we don't listen to each other and ourselves. There are many physical benefits of coning. In addition to being emotionally soothing, candling works to alleviate many painful symptoms by locally administering heat. It softens ear wax; helping the wax do what it wants to do naturally ... making its own way out of the ear. Please note that ear wax is not the enemy. It is the body's ingenious way of protecting our ears from all kinds of injury and intrusion. But, too much of a good thing can be irritating or painful!

Because the ears, nose and throat are interconnected, promoting health in the ears can benefit the sinuses and the throat. Relief can be gained for irritations of the ear, sinus problems, tinnitus (ear ringing), headaches, dizziness, colds, allergies, congestion, itching, infection, ear pain from airplane travel and swimmer's ear. Western medicine has traditionally used invasive methods to treat the ears. Cotton swabs, metal scrapers and water injectors which force fluid into the ear canal are intended to dissolve wax and flush it out. Although these methods might be necessary in some instances, ear candling can be tried as natural alternative. An ear candle, sometimes called an ear cone, is a long hollow tube tapered to a hand-finished tip that fits comfortably into the ear. The large end of the candle is lit and the smoke created spirals down through the ear canal. The warmth of the smoke gently dislodges foreign debris, softens old ear wax and helps evaporate excess moisture. This is believed to relieve earache pain, provide relief from the pressure in the sinuses and allow the ear to naturally push out the ear wax.

The ear candling process is also believed to detoxify the lymphatic system and clear the sinuses, which can also improve the clarity of hearing, sight, smell and taste. More subtle changes may occur on an energy level resulting in greater emotional stability and an overall sense of well-being. Ear candles should never be used as a substitute for professional medical treatment. Do not candle if you are currently under the supervision of a medical doctor for ear, nose and/or throat problems. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your health care provider.

DO NOT USE EAR CANDLES if you meet any of the following conditions: Recent ear surgery, cysts in the ear, mastoiditis (inflammation of the bone behind the ear), ear tubes, perforated or punctured ear drums, osteosclerosis (overgrowth of bone tissue), ankylosis of the stapes (fusing of bony tissue in the ear), tumors or injury of the ear.

Using ear candles is generally more comfortable and less expensive than conventional methods, which can be painful. Ear candling is a non-invasive, peaceful, relaxing and actually quite pleasant experience.
