THERMO-AURICULAR THERAPY
(HOPI EAR CANDLES)
What are Hopi Candles?
Hopi Ear Candles are hollow tubes made of cotton, soaked in beeswax, honey and herbs. When lit, the candle acts like a chimney, causing warm air inside it to rise and creating a vacuum at the bottom.
This vacuum gently stimulates the ear, facilitating removal of excess wax and impurities
It is important to note that the candle does not suck wax out of the ear. It stimulates the ear to eliminate the wax naturally, ensuring maximum safety.
How are the candles used?
The treatment should be carried out in a relaxed, draught free atmosphere and the patient should lie in a comfortable position on his/her side with their head supported on a pillow.
Asmall cotton towel should cover the hair.
The lit candle is inserted into the outer ear and the flame is allowed to burn down to within a short distance of the marked red line, when the candle is then removed gently and extinguished in some water.
The practitioner then massages gently around the ear, using draining movements towards the neck.
The procedure is repeated on the other ear, and then the patient lies on his/her back for a gentle drainage massage on the face.
It is then important for the patient to have a drink of water and lie still for at least 10 minutes before he/she stands up
What are the benefits?
Hopi candles can be used for many conditions including deafness caused by excess wax, congested sinuses, irritation in the ears, ringing or noises in the ears, helps with tinnitus, glue ear,
