Hopi ear candling is also known as thermo-auricular therapy. This has been practised around the world for centuries and continues to grow even more popular with people of all age groups. From here the hollow beeswax candle is then placed into the ear. The top of the candle is lit and a small flame burns the candle. The candle works with a chimney effect helping to draw out impurities and gently massage the ear drum. The candle is held in place by myself and the flame burns to a very safe level and is then taken out and extinguised. You can then turn over and the other ear is treated. Now its up to you, you can rest on the bed for a few minutes, or if you prefer a facial massage including neck and shoulders is carried out to extend the session. Hopi ear candles are wonderfully relaxing and used to help treat conditions such as migraine, tension head aches, hay fever and sinus problems. also a wonderful way to remove excess and hard ear wax. 

 

Hopi ear candle - How it works - Bella Vou

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 and increases immune defence and cleansing. It also stimulates energy and reflex points.

Whilst the candle is burning a pleasant warmth can be felt around the ear, head and neck area.

You will be invited to lie down and relax in a tranquil environment. One ear will be treated at a time as you lies on your side.

The hopi ear candle is lit at the top and the tapered end is gently placed into the ear, the therapist's hands are then placed lightly over the ear to steady the candle. Each candle takes about 10-12 minutes to burn

You may hear a slight crackling or fizzing noise as the hopi ear candle burns and may also feel warmth around the ear.

Treatment is then repeated for the second ear. You may wish to add on to you treatment and have soothing facial massage which helps drain the sinuses, reinforcing lymph action and blood flow.

Many people find the use of hopi candles deeply relaxing and often fall asleep during treatment.

After treatment the clients usually describe a soothing, liberating, light sensation in the ear and head area.
