Description:

Hopi Ear Candling is a holistic therapy originated from the Native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona. ‘Hopi’ means peaceful people. An ear candle, made with natural ingredients including linen, beeswax, and honey, is lit at one end and gently placed in the ear. This creates a slight under-pressure (the chimney effect) inside the ear candle and a vibration of the rising air column through the natural movement of the flame serve to gentle massage the eardrum. The treatment is followed by a relaxing pressure point facial massage. Effective for: Headaches, Migraines, Sore Throats, Sinusitis, Glue Ear, Excessive Wax, Catarrh and Snoring.
