Thermo Auricular Therapy

Thermo Auricular Therapy or Hopi Ear Candling, or as it is also known, can be used to treat many conditions of the ear, nose and throat area. 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.

It is the Hopi Indians of northeast 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 candles can be used today as a relaxing treatment to ease away the stresses of our Western culture and to address a number of problems relating to the ear, neck and face areas.

The Hopi Ear Candles i  use are Biosun candles. These are one of the only EU standard candles on the market. They are specially designed with a safety filter and a red line marked on them to designate the maximum burn level. Biosun candles are made from linen, pure beeswax, honey extract, and essential oil of St John's wort, chamomile and sage.
