 What happens during a treatment?
A short consultation takes place beforehand to make sure
clients are suitable for the treatment. Clients lie down on
their side with their head supported on a pillow so the
auditory canal is vertical. The candle is then gently fitted
into the ear and turned slightly to seal it in place. When
lit, the candle generates a pleasant crackling sound and a
warm sensation within the ear. After around 10 minutes, the
process is repeated on the other ear. This is followed by a
period of relaxation, and a facial massage concentrating on
the sinus areas.
How does it work?
The combination of the heat with the therapeutic oils
produce a light suction action within the candle. This is
known as the chimney effect.
What are the potential benefits?
It is the Hopi Indians of north-east Arizona that lend their
name to this treatment. They used candles in medicinal
ceremonies and initiations to clear negative energies from
the head and aura. The candles are used today as a relaxing
treatment to ease away the stresses of our Western culture
and to address a number of problems related to the ear, neck
and face areas. This treatment benefits
sinus complaints, headaches, tinnitus, balance problems,
pain or pressure when flying, Menier's Disease and swimmers
ear.
This is a truly relaxing treatment which induces balance of
pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses.
One treatment can be enough to address less severe problems;
however, in some cases more frequent sessions may be needed.
The Hopi Ear Candles used in my treatment sessions are
Biosun candles. These are one of the only EU standard
candles on the market. They are specially designed with a
safety filter and a red line marked on them to designate the
maximum burn level. Biosun candles are made from linen, pure
beeswax, honey extract, and essential oil.
