Hopi Ear Candling
What to expect when you come for an appointment, firstly expect a consultation, it is not suitable for anyone who has received had ear or nose surgery. It has been known to help a variety of conditions such as tinnitus, sinus problems, vertigo, headaches, ear wax & hayfever.
You will be asked to lay on your side, and then an ear candle, (I only use The Bio Sun brand as I find I get the best results from these )made of cotton and imbued with natural remedial ingredients such as beeswax, honey and herbs, will be delicately placed inside your ear.
1. The top of the candle (a foot or two above your head), will be carefully lit. This is where the magic begins!
2. The hot flame at the top of the candle draws air from your ear canal up to the flame, creating a vacuum pressure in your ear. This helps to loosen earwax and improves nasal and sinus airflow. Additionally, the crackles and instability of the flame itself (plasma) can vibrate through the ear and massage the eardrum itself; helping to loosen detritus as well as being a very pleasant sensation. ( please be aware that the wax I show you at the end of the treatment is the beeswax melted inside the candle from the heat NOT wax from your ears, bio sun candles leave more of a powder residue, the larger the amount shows how much harder the candle in that ear had to work )
3. The candle will burn for about 10 to 15 minutes and will be complemented with a massage of the outer ear – which not only feels great but can also help dislodge blockages from the inner ear. Reiki can also be administered at this time.
4. Candling will help lymphatic drainage by targeting key pressure points; allowing for drainage of fluids from the nose, sinuses and of course, ears!
5. Facial drainage massage will conclude the treatment.
