Thermo Auricular Therapy
What can Hopi Ear Candling Do for You?
Thermo auricular therapy is brilliant this time of year when people are getting over colds and flu and wish to ease away the stresses of our Western culture. I have seen great results from this treatment from people with all of the conditions listed below.
This treatment is now often recommended by doctors and can be used as a gentler alternative to ear syringing. It is not painful at all and is relaxing. Hopi candling is very popular as a complementary treatment as people become aware of its positive and instant results.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Before you have your Hopi Ear Candling treatment you will be given a consultation and asked a number of questions regarding any problems that you may have with your ears.
You will be placed in a comfortable position laying down on your side. The Hopi candle will be gently placed just inside the ear and lit. The candle will be held firmly in place to prevent any of the ash from falling in or around the ear.
It is normal to hear fire crackling sound as the candle burns and possibly some popping of the ear and even some warmth. You will also feel a gentle massaging sensation to the ear drum that is soothing. When the candle has burned it is carefully removed from the ear and extinguished. The entire process is then repeated for the other ear.
Once both ears have been treated you will be left to relax for a few minutes before receiving a soothing face and head massage using blended aromatherapy oils.
What is Hopi Ear Candling?
It is the Hopi Indians of north-east Arizona that lend their name to the treatment. They used candles in medicinal ceremonies and initiations to clear negative energies from the head and aura.
The Hopi Ear Candles used in my treatment sessions are Biosun candles. These are one of the only EU standard candles on the market. They are specially designed with a safety filter. Biosun candles are made from linen, pure beeswax, honey extract, and essential oil of St John's Wort, chamomile and sage.
.
The candles work by vaporising their ingredients once lit, causing convectional air flow towards the first chamber of the ear. The candle creates a mild suction which lets the vapours gently massage the eardrum and auditory canal. Once the candle is placed in the ear it forms a seal which enables wax and other impurities to be drawn out of the ear.
