Hopi Ear Candles have been used for many thousands of years. The historical roots of Hopi Ear Candles (also known as Thermo-Auricular Therapy) are found among people of the Siberian praries, Asia and native North and South Indians. 

Hopi Ear Candles are handmade hollow tubes  made from pesticide-free cotton flax, beeswax and honey extract, sage, St Johns wort and chamomile.  They are certified a medical product to EC guidelines 93/42.

The ear is checked for any inflammation or injury with an otoscope, which is an instrument used to examine the inside of the ear. A lit candle is placed into the ear, and the warmth of the candle travels into the ear.  The candle creates a 'chimney' effect, and impurities such as wax are drawn out of the ear into the candle.  The process is completely pain-free and very relaxing.  The process is then carried out on the other ear.

A treatment takes around an hour, as a facial massage is carried out after the candles have been burnt. 

The benefits of Hopi Ear Candle treatment are:

• Relief from sinusitis, rhinitis, headaches and migraines
• Relief from tinnitus
• Removal of excess earwax
• Relief from glue ear
• Calming in cases of  excessive excitement and stress symptoms
• Sharpens the functions of vision, hearing, smell and taste
• Is completely safe for use on children
• Reduces need for ear syringing

Treatment is contra-indicated in the cases where there is a perforation in the eardrum, if grommets are in place, and if ear drops or oil has been applied in the last 24 hours.
