A deep relaxing, calming and soothing treatment offering real and marked benefits for many problems and conditions associated with the ear, nose, sinus and throat areas. It is believed that the ancient Greeks used ear candles for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual level. Centuries later, the remarkable efficiency of the candles as a physical treatment was discovered. The Native American Hopi Indians of Arizona have for many centuries, lived in complete harmony with Mother Earth, nature and the seasons. They are renowned for their spirituality and ancient healing arts. It is through their use of the candles that the practice of ear candle treatment has reached the rest of the world.
Both ears are always treated, with the client lying comfortably on their alternate sides. After each candle has burnt (an average time being 10 – 12 minutes each ear), massage of the ear is carried out to stimulate energy and relax points and encourage lymphatic flow. Then, with the client lying comfortably on their back, massage of the head, face and neck is carried out to stimulate energy points, increase circulation of blood and lymph, aid the drainage of sinus tubes and promote feeling of complete relaxation.
In this relaxed state, a further 10 minutes of rest is taken before being given water to drink. After which, the contents of the candles are examined and noted. Benefits are not just gained during the treatment. Plugs of wax and impurities have been known to work themselves out of the ear up to 24 – 48 hours after a treatment.
