Hopi Ear Candling is a natural and relaxing therapy used traditionally by the Hopi Indians. The meaning of the word Hopi is ” Peaceful People “. The healing properties of the candles are said to of been known for hundreds of years to the Hopi tribe and this ancient and natural therapy has been handed down by many civilisations. It is also believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but then much later on a physical basis.
Ear candles were used traditionally by Sharman healers and ancient wall paintings discovered show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The Hopi, the oldest peublo people, who possess great medical knowledge and spirituality, brought this knowledge to Europe. The candles are still made today on the basis of the old tradional formula originating from the Hopi Indians.
The candles which are cylindrical with hollow centres are made from natural ingredients- usually 100% beeswax and sometimes with the addition of natural herbs and essential oils. The treatment lasts for aproximately 45 minutes and it has a calming and relaxing effect on the whole body. Clients sometimes fall asleep.
The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is alloed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. The candle works on a ” chimney ” principle, drawing up impurities from within the ear. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and the herbs soften the wax and draws it into the base of the candle. The rising air also has the effect of giving the ear drum a gentle but pleasant massage, which inturn, helps to regulate pressure.
The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then gently massaged. The treatment is then repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus area.
