My Journey to offer Hopi Ear Candles

The decision to train in Hopi Ear Candles was an easy one for myself as I had suffered from Ear Infections and hay fever myself. Family members had also experienced problems with hearing, glue ear, ringing in ear and popping ears so I was interested to know how the Ear Candles could aid  conditions of ears and sinuses.

In March 2014 I trained in Hopi Ear Candling along side my Reflexology course. During the course I got to experience the treatment, learn the theory and practice on another student. The treatment I had helped my sinuses, ear and head to feel clearer.

Hopi Ear Candle Treatment

During the treatment the client positions themselves on the massage couch. A special candle is placed in the ear and works as a gentle vacuum to draw out impurities, its then repeated on the opposite ear. Followed by a gentle face and head massage to aid the process. Each Candle can burn for approximately 15 minutes and including the face massage the treatment would last 45 minutes.

History of Hopi Ear Candles

It is a ancient therapy and different civilations had different believes regarding ear candles.The Greeks were thought to use ear candles for spiritual healing, cleansing and purifying. The Egyptians prophets used them as a doorway into spirit world, there is also evidence that the Egyptains used cones which were filled with herbs and inserted into the ear and then lit. The Native Americans had their ears cleansed of mites, ticks and excessive wax. Although they were used as means of purification in spiritual practices, ear candles were also used as a method for personal hygiene.

The Candles

Each Candle is a hollow tube measuring about 9 inches long with a consisitent diameter of 0.25inches. The candles are made from natural substances apart from the plastic filter. The filter in the candle prevents candle residue and soft earwax falling back into the ear canal.

They are made from Organically grown flax. Contain Beeswax as it does not run or drip when lit. Beeswax is a natural antiseptic, anti flammatory and fights infection.

Honey extracts – helps slow down the burning time of the candles and the honey is known to help hayfever suffers.

In the candles that I use there is a blend of herbs of camomile, sage, st.johns wort, Beta Caratone and Essential Oils.
