Hopi Ear Candling is gentle, deeply relaxing and non-invasive treatment which can help some ear, nose and throat conditions. This is also complimented with a facial lymphatic drainage, neck & scalp massage in your treatment session.

This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, possibly 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).

The Ear Candles are hollow tubes made of cotton, soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs are gently inserted into the outer ear. When lit, the candle acts like a chimney, causing the warm air inside it to rise creating a vacuum at the bottom. This vacuum gently stimulates the ear, and the burning of the candle helps to equalise pressure and may ease inner ear problems.

Some of the potential benefits of ear candling are:-

• Help relieve symptoms of sinusitis, rhinitis, glue-ear, tinnitus, hay fever, catarrh, colds, flu, headaches, vertigo and swimmer ears.

• Encourages gentle loosening of excessive or compacted ear wax.

• Eases ear discomfort experienced during and after flying/diving.

• Help reduce snoring as it can open up the nasal passages and relieve congestion.

•  Promotes general feelings of deep relaxation, calm and well-being.
