More Info

Hopi Ear Candling Therapy is a natural and relaxing treatment of the ears which claims to have a variety of health benefits, including: 

Relaxation and stress relief 

Softening and loosening of ear wax 

Reduced irritation in the ears 

Relief from sinus problems, headaches and snoring. 

Temporary relief from tinnitus 

Easing pressure problems following flying and diving. 

The treatment also has a calming effect and is said to improve circulation, stimulate lymph flow and revitalise. 

Ear candles work by vaporising their ingredients and creating air flow towards the ear. A lit candle is placed gently into the outer ear and is turned lightly to seal it in place. The candle then generates a pleasant crackling sound and a warm feeling while it draws out the impurities from the ear. This is followed by a period of relaxation together with a short massage concentrating on the sinus areas. 

Please note that Ear Candling Therapy is not a medication and is applied externally only. However, ear candling does appear to have therapeutic benefits and is found by many to be an enjoyable and relaxing experience. 

Contra indications for Hopi Ear Candling Although anyone can be treated with Hopi Ear Candles there are cases where Ear Candling should not be used. 

These are:

Infection or inflammation of the ear Surgery on the ear within the last 3 months 

Perforation of the ear drum 

Auricular Cysts 

Grommets, 

drains or ventilation tubes fitted 

Known allergy to bees’ wax/stings. 

Epilepsy 

Providing you have none of these existing conditions Ear Candling should be a perfectly safe treatment for you to have. 

The number of treatments that may be required depends on several factors. The age of the person, the length of time they have had the condition and what condition the person is suffering from. The older the person and the longer they have had the condition the more treatments that will be needed before there is a noticeable improvement, and some conditions are much more treatable than others, therefore fewer treatments are needed for positive results to be achieved. 

There are some guidelines that can be followed regarding the number of Hopi treatments a person can have to achieve positive results. For a problem that has come on suddenly, for example, a cold or blocked nose, it is safe to have treatments up to twice a day for the first 2 days and then 3 or 4 more over the next 10 days. 

Long term problems, such as hearing loss or tinnitus, Hopi treatments can be given 3 times in the first week, twice in the second week and once in the third week. 

A Hopi treatment once a month can be beneficial for preventing problems. 

**Please Note that One treatment may be enough for you, your needs are individual, please do not think that you must come 3-4 times in a week. Block bookings can be made, or you can decide after your treatment.

Anyone can be treated with Hopi Ear Candles including children providing they don't have any of the contra indications indicated above. 

What to Expect During a Hopi Ear Candling Treatment - Before you have your Hopi Ear Candling treatment you will be given a full consultation and asked a few questions regarding any problems that you may have with your ears. This is to help assess whether Hopi candling will be a safe treatment for you to have and to find out what your expectations of the treatment are. 

You will be placed in a comfortable position laying down on your side. The Hopi candle will be gently placed just inside the ear canal and lit. The candle will be held firmly in place to prevent any of the ash from falling in or around the ear. You will experience a fire crackling sound as the candle burns and possibly some popping of the ear. You will also feel a gentle massaging sensation to the ear drum and some heat as the candle burns lower. When the candle has burned it is carefully removed from the ear and extinguished. The entire process is then repeated for the other ear. Once both ears have been treated you will be left to relax for a few minutes before receiving a soothing sinus massage to finish the therapy and leave you feeling utterly relaxed.
