Hopi Candles
Originally practised by North American Indians, Hopi candles are an ancient natural therapy. Often referred to as ear-candling or thermo-auricular therapy, they are safe and effective in treating general ear problems.
Not a candle as such, more a hollow tube, the making of the candle is a complex process, and all genuine Hopi candles are made in a traditional manner.
Treatment may help unblock the nasal passage making breathing easier. The physical effect directly after a session is often described as a soothing, pressure- and pain-relieving sensation mainly in the ear and head.
The treatment is gentle and very relaxing. It can take up to an hour depending on the condition being treated. A typical session lasts 45 minutes. As well as using the Hopi candles, a combination of facial, head, ear and neck massage is used.
Please note: this treatment is not suitable for those with perforated ear drums or where grommets are in place.
