Hopi Ear Candling

Hopi Ear Candling Therapy is a revitalizing journey of holistic healing.  This ancient practice not only pampers your senses but also offers a range of potential benefits for your overall well-being. Also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy, ear candling has been used for thousands of years by many civilisations, the practice was brought to the west by the native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona, Hopi means “the peaceful people”.

Hopi Ear Candling is a relaxing and non-invasive calming therapy that can offer relief to problems in the ear, nose, and throat areas. It is also deeply calming to the mind and is useful to combat stress as it gently relaxes all your senses.  The treatment is very useful for restoring pressure in the ear before flying and a very good alternative if you have found syringing uncomfortable.

During the session, your therapist will place a specific design of naturally produced candle gently into your ear, then as this is lit, a light suction action is created, and the movement of the flame creates a vibration of air in the candle which generates a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This has an effect of regulating ear pressure. The warmth of the flow stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and increases immune defence. This soothing process can help alleviate discomfort, clear the mind, and even enhance your sense of hearing. It's like a gentle massage for your ears, a moment of pure self-care that can have a ripple effect on your entire being.

Hopi ear candles are hollow tubes made from natural ingredients of organically grown flax, honey extracts, sage, St john’s wort and chamomile.
