Treatment description and therapist thoughts
Hopi Ear Candles are also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy. Hopi ear candling is a wonderfully relaxing and beneficial treatment. It involves placing a long, thin and hollow candle in the ear. A guard is placed at the base of the candle to catch any falling ash and to protect your face. The candle is then lit and left to burn down (usually around 15mins each candle). The warmth from the candle creates a slight vacuum which helps to soften ear wax and relieve pressure in the sinuses. The treatment Is then finished off with a lymphatic drainage face and neck massage to help clear your sinuses.
