HOPI
EAR CANDLES
What
are Hopi Ear Candles?
Thermal Auricular
Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive
treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles
induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and
relaxes.
A
Brief History
This is an ancient and
natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. It is believed that the
Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and
healing on a spiritual basis, but much later on a purely physical basis.
However, the practice reached the modern world via the native American Hopi
Indians of North Arizona (it's interesting to note that Hopi means peaceful
people). Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers. Ancient wall
paintings show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of
the tribe. The candles are still made today on the basis of the old traditional
formula originating from the Hopi Indians.
How
do Hopi Ear Candles work?
The candles are made
from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort,
chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. A constant high quality is
ensured. The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the
surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head
and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently
stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of
these are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of
them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the
ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.
