Ear Candles - Auricular therapy

Hopi Ear Candling, Auricular Therapy - what is it?

Thermo Auricular Therapy uses Hopi Ear Candles to treat various conditions of the ear and head area including the sinuses. The candles which are hollow were made and used originally by the American Hopi Indians of North Arizona and the natural ingredients which were used then are still used today; these include beeswax, organically grown flax, chamomile, and sage.

The treatment is extremely relaxing, completely painless with a pleasant sensation of heat. As the candle burns the vibration of the rising column of air caused by the natural movement of the flame gently massages the ear drum equalizing the pressure in the head and the ears. The gentle warmth stimulates the peripheral blood circulation and the lymph system including the numerous glands around this area so strengthening the immunological defence.

Clients likely to benefit from this treatment include those suffering from:

Blocked or irritated sinuses particularly after a cold
Excessive wax in the ears - as an alternative to syringing
Pressure regulation in cases of glue ear
Headaches
Partial deafness & temporary hearing impairment
Noises in the ears ringing & tinnitus

When there are unpleasant problems with the ears during flying, this is an excellent therapy to have before the flight.
