HOPI EAR CANDLING

History

In the Americas, Native Hopi Indians of Arizona are considered to have a great knowledge of healing, as they are in close harmony with Mother Nature. This is where we borrow the name for ear candling. The name HOPI (also known as Thermo-Auricular Therapy) means 'peaceful people.'

Hopi ear candle treatments are becoming increasingly popular in Western society. Curiousity? Maybe, however, it can appear puzzling how such a simple treatment can provide such wonderful results.

This Native-American beeswax candle treatmetn has been practiced since early times. It is a simple treatment that helps regulate ear pressure that may be causing discomfort to a person for other reasons.

A Hopi treatment may help:

• stress, tension headaches and migraines
• common colds
• tinnitus and sinisitis
• hay fever and rhinitis
• glue ear, and many more...

A Hopi treatment will involve the client laying on their side, while a lit ear candle is placed inside the ear, creating a 'drag and suction effect.' This gives the inner ear a gentle and pleasant massage for ten minutes. This is repeated on both sides for each ear.

A fifteen minute Sinus or Auricular massage may follow, depending on the clients needs. All contraindications will be explained on the day.
