Hopi Ear Candling

A Brief History of Hopi Ear Candles

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.

The healing property of the Hopi Ear Candling has its foundation in two primary physical actions

Firstly, the slight pressure (the chimney effect) inside the ear candle and the vibration of the rising column serve to gently massage the eardrum and promote secretion in the frontal and paranassal sinuses

This has an immediate effect of regulating and balancing ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear and head area.

Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system and reinforces the flow of the lymph. At the same time, important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.

Ear candles are soothing, helpful, and excellent in the treatment of: -

Sinusitis, Headaches, TMJ or Jaw pain, Ear Aches, Otitis Externa, Tropical Ear, Tinnitus, Ear Noise, Many stress related systems,

The effect after treatment is a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head regions, Clearer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell (even when the nose was blocked before treatment) are often experienced, as well as wonderful relaxed feeling, a deep sense of security and a feeling of happiness are often experience
