Hopi Ear Candle

Hopi Ear Candle originates from the American Hopi tribe of North Arizona. The word Hopi means "Peaceful Ones". The Hopi Tribe are known for their knowledge of healing and their spiritual approach to life

Contrary to what the name implies, the candles are slim , hollow tubes of organically grown flax impregnated with natural ingredients; beeswax, honey extracts, sage, camomile and St Johns Wort.

The candle is lit, placed gently in the ear and held in place, whilst it gradually burns down. The treatment works in three phases. It has a chimney effect causing a light suction to draw out impurities. The gentle heat stimulates the blood and lymph circulation at the same time helping to regulate pressure in the sinus cavities and ears.

The 40 minute treatment is completed by a soothing massage around the ears and can be extended to an hour to include a head and facial massage or reiki as desired.
