Ear candling is a very safe and non-invasive treatment. A Hopi Ear Candle is a hollow cotton tube impregnated with therapeutic oils, beeswax and honey. The candle is painlessly inserted into the ear and when lit helps to draw out impurities and relieve pressure in the head and sinuses.

The Treatment

An ear candling session begins with the client lying comfortably on their side on the therapy couch.  The Hopi Candle is gently inserted at the ear entrance, lit and held securely. While the candle burns there is very gentle, soothing, crackling, hissing sound and a sensation of gentle warmth around the ear and head. Some clients experience a feeling of pressure being released in the ears and sinuses.

The candle takes around 8-10 minutes to burn down, it’s then removed and the area around the ear is massaged. The whole procedure is repeated on the other side. The ear candling treatment finishes with a short relaxing sinus drain massage of the face, neck and head.
