Hopi Ear Candle Treatment
A safe relaxing method of relieving pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses
How it works
Fully dressed the client lies down on their side, with their head supported on a pillow so the auditory canal is vertical.
The process involves placing a specially designed hollow candle just inside the ear canal, as far as is comfortable into the ear canal. The candle is then lit. A fire crackling sound may be heard and possibly some gentle popping. The rising air gently massages the ear drum and helps to regulate ear pressure.
A small amount of ear wax is also removed during the treatment. The candles work like a chimney, drawing impurities out. Most are burned away, although some may be found in the candle wax residue or may appear on a cotton bud 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
None of the candle residues actually goes into the ear.
