Hopi Ear Candling

Ear candling induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache, headache, migraine, ear noise (tinnitus), sinusitis, rhinitis, glue ear, stress and nervousness. Treatment may also spontaneously cause freer breathing through the nose and improve the sense of smell.

What happens during a treatment?
You will lie on one side in a comfortable position with your head supported by a pillow. The candle is lit at one end and the non-burning end is gently inserted into the outer ear-passage. The candle is held in place throughout the treatment to ensure your safety. Once the candle has burnt down to the required level, it is removed and the treatment is repeated on the other ear.

After the ears have been candled, a relaxing head and face massage is given to encourage the actions of the candles and to increase circulation and blood flow and help the sinus tubes to drain.

Who can have Ear Candling?
This therapy is suitable for use on children over the age of 2 although, as with all treatments, a parent or guardian must be present.  It is not suitable for people who have a perforated eardrum or other acute inflammation of the ear or surrounding area, or those with tube implants (grommets).
