Hopi Ear Candles
What are Hopi Ear Candles?
People from areas such as North and South America and Asia have been using
Hopi Ear Candles for many centuries in medicine as well as in spiritual ceremonies.
The candles induce relaxation of the mind, body and spirit, as well as cleansing
the ear, nose and throat areas. The candles are made from strong linen that have
been dipped into a combination of pure beeswax, aromatherapy oils and a variety
of healing herbs. The candles used are the BIOSUN candles, all of which have
regular tests for their quality and safety. The dipped candles are then rolled
into a tube which is held in the opening of the ear canal to create a chimney
effect. When the candles are lit and held in position the combination of the
warmed oils, the vibration of the flame from the candle and the vacuum suction
that is produced draws impurities from the ear canals, clearing away any build-up
of wax, mucus, flaky dry skin or other residue from the connecting passages.
This leaves a wonderful feeling of clear ears, head, sinuses and mind, along with
a feeling of pure relaxation.
What does a Hopi Ear Candle treatment involve?
Cleansed Ears, Head and Mind! After an initial consultation to assess any possible
contra-indications and to confirm that Hopi Ear Candles are the correct treatment
for your symptoms, you will be asked to lie on my couch and enjoy a 10 minute relaxing
pressure point massage around ear canals, sinuses, head and eye areas with
soothing Lavender oil. This begins the breakdown of any blockages and induces
relaxation. You will then be asked to roll onto one side and rest comfortably
whilst your first ear is being treated. The candle will then be lit and placed
into the ear. I will stay holding the candle, encouraging quietness and relaxation
during the 12 minutes that the candle takes to burn down and draw out the impurities.
I will then remove the candle, wiping any residue away from the ear. This process
is then repeated on the second ear. Once completed, an extraordinary feeling
of being uplifted and cleansed is felt around the ear, head nose and throat
areas.
