HOPI EAR CANDLING
Originating
from the Hopi Indians of North
America the ear candle or
chimney is made of a combination
of woven cotton and pure beeswax
which can then have herbal
extracts added to boost its
healing and cleansing properties.
The hollow tube is gently
inserted into the ear canal,
the therapist lights the end,
rather like an incense stick
and holds it whilst the candle
slowly burns to a measured
cut off point.
The gentle vibration caused
by the flickering flame, massages
the ear canal and eardrum
improving lymphatic draining
and blood circulation whilst
the chimney effect regulates
the pressure in the ear helping
to draw away impurities and
soften and remove old solidified
earwax.
Each ear is treated in turn,
and is followed by a relaxing
light facial massage to boost
the clearing properties of
the candles to the lymphatic
system and to clear the sinuses.
The whole treatment takes
around 1 hour.
