Thermo Auricular Therapy

(Hopi Ear Candles)

Introduction to Hopi Ear Candles

 

The center of an ear candle is a column of air.  When the top is lit, the rising air column inside begins to heat up and creates a very mild suction action at the base, which helps to loosen earwax.

 

The ingredients of the candle make some of the air inside heavier.  It spirals downwards into the ear canal, setting up pressure waves and gentle sound waves from the sizzling ingredients massage the eardrum.  All of the structures inside of the ear recieve a gentle massage.  This has the effect of regulating and balancing pressure in the ears as well as the whole of the upper respiratory tract as the ear, nose and throat are all interconnected.

 

NOTHING is sucked up from the ear canal, contrary to what some people say, as the suction effect is very slight.

 

The heat from the candle helps to invigorate the immune system and reinforces the flow of lymph.

The hydrating effects of the vapours and the heat of the candle help to soften and loosen earwax, which can be expelled upto 48 hours after the treatment. This normally occurs naturally in the shower or on the pillow in the morning.

 

Hopi Ear Candles are ideal for all ages.

This treatment lasts approx 30/40 minutes
