Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermo Auricular Therapy can be used to treat many conditions of the ear, nose and throat area.

When the candle is inserted into the ear, and lit, the rising air causes a mild suction which helps to loosen ear wax and causes vibration, (through the natural movement of the flame) which serves to gently massage the ear drum.
This has an effect of regulating or balancing the pressure of the ears, sinuses and upper respiratory tract, leaving a relieved, soothed and lighter feeling within the head and ear area.

The heat also stimulates the circulation (blood and lymph) which in turn helps to stimulate the immune system.

There is evidence of ear candling from all over the world, from Siberia, Asia and the native communities of North and South America.

It is the Hopi Indians of north-east Arizona that lend their name to the treatment.
They used candles in medicinal ceremonies and initiations to clear negative energies from the head and aura.

I use Biosun candles. These are one of the only EU standard candles on the market.

They are specially designed with a safety filter and a red line marked on them to designate the maximum burn level.

Biosun candles are made from linen, pure beeswax, honey extract, and essential oil of St John's wort, chamomile and sage.
