Hopi ear candling, also known simply as ear candling, is a traditional practice that involves placing a hollow candle, typically made of cotton or linen soaked in beeswax, into the ear canal and then lighting the other end. The process is often claimed to have various health benefits, including removing earwax, improving hearing, and promoting a sense of well-being.
Overview
When a candle burns, it creates a gentle suction that moves the flame, producing a vibration of air inside the candle. This vibration generates a massage-like effect on the eardrum, helping to regulate ear pressure. Additionally, the warmth of the Hopi Ear Candling stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems, boosting the immune system.
Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermo Auricular Therapy, is the treatment that uses this technique. Hopi Ear Candling has been a therapeutic practice for thousands of years across various cultures, including Egyptians, Chinese, Aztecs, Tibetans, Mayans, and Native American Indians. The Hopi Indians of North Arizona were the ones who introduced the practice to the Western world. The term “Hopi” means “peaceful people”.

We could also help re-establish ear pressure for frequent flyers, swimmers, or scuba divers. However, it is not advisable to use Hopi ear candles if you have an inflamed ear, ear infection, grommets, perforated ear drums, ear pain, or if you are allergic to any of the candle’s ingredients. If you have recently had a major operation or are experiencing a severe cough or cold, it is advisable to postpone the treatment.
