about Hopi Ear Candling

REstorative & Calming

Infused with a variety of herbs with restorative properties, Hopi Ear Candles provide a number of benefits including anti-inflammation, increased circulation, supporting the lymphatic system, and providing a gentle, anti-spasmodic sedative. They also help to remove debris and excess wax from the ears, which could be causing irritation, inflammation, or difficulties hearing.

Hopi Ear Candling helps to alleviate the symptoms of sinusitis, hay fever, colds, tension headaches, and tinnitus, as well as reducing stress, excessive ear wax, and sleeping problems.

Relief from these conditions combined with the warm sensation, light crackling sound in the ear, and gentle massaging of the eardrum whilst the candle burns helps you to relax and reach a deep state of calm. Clearing your ear canals can help reduce pressure in your head and improve your hearing and sense of smell.

More About Hopi Ear Candling

Hopi Ear Candling is a traditional therapy that has been in use for thousands of years, notably by the Hopi American Indian Tribe and ancient Greeks. Wall paintings found in the Grand Canyon demonstrate their importance and many benefits.

During a session, you lie down with your head supported so your ear canal is vertical. The Hopi Ear Candle is then placed inside your ear as far as it will comfortably go. Once lit, a vacuum is created that causes a suction in your ear and up the hollow candle. Like a chimney, it draws out debris, impurities, & excess wax and creates a gentle massaging effect on the inner ear.

Additional benefits can be gained depending upon any healing herbs that are infused into the candle. Chamomile possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is a gentle anti-spasmodic sedative. Sage helps stimulate the lymphatic system and increase blood circulation. St. John’s Wort can act as a restorative tonic for the nervous system.

It is not advised that people who have serious ear-related issues undertake Hopi Ear Candling. These issues can include: recent ear infections, perforated eardrum, severe inflammation, or recent ear surgery.
