A Hopi ear candle is a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, oils and honey, which is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve snoring, pressure in the head, helping with hearing problems and assists in the process of unblocking sinuses.
The candles are made from natural ingredients that include St John’s wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and sage. Also known as thermo-auricular therapy, the original source of the technique is taken from medical ceremonies performed by a native American Indian tribe called the Hopis (meaning ‘peaceful people’).
What does a treatment involve?
Clients are advised to remove earrings and any face makeup before the treatment starts. Fully dressed the client lies down on their side, with their head supported on a pillow. A tissue is placed on the side of the client’s face and the candle is then lit and the non-burning end is placed gently into the outer ear passage and is turned lightly to seal it in place.
The candle then generates a pleasant crackling sound and a warm, comfortable feeling while it draws out the impurities from the ear. After around 10 minutes the process is repeated on the other ear. This is then followed by a period of relaxation, listening to relaxing music and includes a facial massage concentrating on the sinus areas is offered.
How does it work?
When the candle is lit, it will generate a gentle heat which, when combined with the therapeutic oils, produces a light suction action. Known as the chimney principle, it works by drawing out impurities gently to the surface, where they can be removed and also fall out of their own accord.
Most of the deposits evaporate and are carried away through the candle ‘chimney’, but some are found in the condensed candle wax residue after it is removed from the ear. None of the candle residue actually goes into the ear due to the filter in each candle.
If you are receiving medical treatment for any ear condition, you should always consult your doctor first. Some clients may experience a slight headaches or light popping in the ears after the treatment. This is a positive and healthy reaction showing that the body is throwing off any toxins.
The best quality original BIOSUN candles are used with this treatment. The candles contain a special safety filter to ensure safe application.
