Hopi ear candles are named after the Native American tribe who first introduced this gentle therapy to the west.
The Hopi nation is renowned for their extensive knowledge of healing and their spiritual lifestyle.
The Hopi candle is a hollow tube made out of cotton flax. To stiffen the flax, they are impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils such as chamomile and st john's wort, the healing properties of which have been known to the Hopi Tribe for hundreds of years. I use only genuine Hopi candles that are made in the traditional manner.
The treatment is very gentle and relaxing and may take up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated. I will place the candle, of which will already be alight, over the ear orifice. As the candle burns, it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the wax, the candle is then removed and I will massage the surrounding area. The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.
Hopi ear candles can aid the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitus, tinnitus, headaches and migraines.
