Hopi Ear Candle
As you all know, I have been interested in going down the holistic route for a while now. I really love giving Indian Head massages and I have been itching to add another treatment to my list, so here it is…. Hopi Ear candling!!
Ear candling is a traditional therapy which is used to help treat many conditions of the ear, nose and throat area. It is believed that the ancient Greeks first used them, but there is evidence of them being used all over the world for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis. Today the candles tend to be used purely on a physical basis.
The treatment consists of a candle being lit in each ear, one at a time, and is then followed by a really lovely facial massage which concentrates on the sinuses and specific pressure points. Hopi ear candling may sound a bit odd but I can honestly say it is a deeply relaxing, calming and soothing treatment, and is absolutely non-invasive.
The candles are made from hollow tubes of cotton soaked in Beeswax and essential oils which vaporise once lit. The candles are placed into the ear and act like a chimney, causing the warm air inside to rise, creating a vacuum at the bottom. It is this vacuum which gently massages the ear and helps to remove excess wax and other impurities.Hopi ear candling can be used to help with many conditions such as:
- Sinusitis
- Hay fever
- Excessive earwax
- Headaches
- Vertigo
- Neuralgia
- Colds and flu
I have been having slight headaches on and off for a while now and I don't know if it's a coincidence but since having this treatment I haven't suffered since!! My mum has been having this done for years, every time she gets a slight build up in her ear (sorry for sharing mum!!) and she swears by them. She even does it to herself at home on the sofa, (under supervision of course, just incase she catches fire!!)
So if you suffer from any of the conditions mentioned it may be worth giving it a go, and if you don't then why not try it out anyway as it's incredibly relaxing and is a great stress buster. It makes a fabulous add on treatment to any facial or massage, but if that's too much it's still a lovely little treatment on it's own.
