Thermo Auricular Candling

Ear candles are hollow tubes generally made from organic cotton which has been impregnated with beeswax. They have been used for hundreds of years as a gentle yet effective way of easing pressure in the ears and sinuses. They are also referred to as Hopi ear candles as they were used by the North American Hopi Indian healers. The candle is placed into the outer ear with the far end lit, and held in place by the practitioner. It is the vibration induced by the flame which helps to lessen pressure and with the additional heat, ear wax may be softened and broken up.

Thus, ear candles may help with

• sinus problems
• headaches
• blocked ears

Thermo auricular candling is a pleasant, calming experience and hence may also help with stress or anxiety.
