Candle Ear Hopi

 Do you suffer from conditions related to your ear, nose or throat? Hopi ear candles are an ancient and natural therapy that can offer relief from issues such as sinus problems, compacted ear wax, tinnitus and headaches.

Hopi ear candle treatments can also help to reduce inflammation in the ears and sinuses, relieve the symptoms of hay fever, rebalance your body’s natural flow, and generally calm and relax you when life is stressful.

• A pleasant & non-invasive treatment
• Ideal for ear, nose or throat problems
• Soothing & massaging effect
• A proven alternative to ear syringing

Hopi ear candles have been used to treat ear, nose and throat conditions since Ancient Greece, and many people find that regular ear candling treatments offer relief from:

• Asthma
• Vertigo & dizziness
• Headaches & migraines
• Hay fever
• Pressure caused by travelling – some people choose to have this treatment to breakdown excess wax and relieve pressure before flying
• Swimmer’s ear
• Yeast infections
• Sore throats
• Sinusitis
• Glue ear
• Rhinitis
• Snoring
• Colds & flu
• Anxiety
• Stress

Ear candling can also promote healing, boost your immune system, detox your lymphatic system, and even improve your vision, hearing and taste.

 The candles work by vaporising their ingredients and causing mild suction in the ear, which lets the vapours gently massage the eardrum and ear canal. Once the candle is placed in the ear, it forms a seal that enables wax and other impurities to be drawn out. Don’t worry, no wax or ash will drop into your ear.

Some people feel Hopi ear candles provide more relief for blocked ears than ear syringing because the treatment draws the wax from the ear rather than compacting it in any way.

The procedure is pleasant and non-invasive. At the beginning of the treatment, the practitioner will examine your ears and discuss your medical history and the problems you are currently experiencing.

You will then lay in a comfortable position on a massage couch before a Hopi ear candle is put into the first ear, lit and held in place for approximately ten minutes, after which the ear is cleaned. 

We will then repeat the procedure in your other ear. Finally, you’ll receive a facial massage to improve your circulation and we’ll ask you to drink a glass of water to rehydrate your body.

You may experience some side effects for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Generally speaking, these are a sign that the treatment has had a positive effect. The most common side effects are:

• Cold-like symptoms
• Headache
• Slight dizziness
• Slight dryness in the throat
• A sticky feeling in the ears or the sensation of loose ear wax

Many people find that positive side effects are better clarity of sound and an immediate relief of pressure in the ears or sinuses.
