Hopi Ear Candles
The History of Ear Candling
Ear candles have been used by many cultures as an effective natural therapy since ancient times. Historical roots can be found among the peoples of the Siberian prairies, Asia and the native North and South American Indians. The Hopi, the oldest Pueblo people with great medicinal knowledge and a high degree of spitituality, brought this knowledge to Europe.

Who Can Benefit From Hopi Ear Candles?
The Hopi Ear Candle treatment is a relaxing and calming treatment but is especially beneficial to anyone who suffers from:-
What Happens During a Treatment?
Before the treatment a brief medical history will be taken and the therapist will ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients in the candles.
The treatment takes place lying down on a couch. No clothes are removed for the treatment but for comfort you may prefer to remove your shoes.
The ear candle is lite and placed in one ear. During the treatment the therapist holds the candle to ensure your safety. During the treatment you will hear a pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame and experience a soothing sensation of warmth. Once the candle has burnt down to the appropriate level it is removed and the second ear is treated. The treatment is followed by a relaxing face massage after which the candle stubs are examined for removed wax.
A treatment session lasts for approximately 45 minutes but the candles can burn quicker or slower depending on the congestion in the ear..
