Hopi ear candles (thermal auricular therapy) are primarily used for relaxation and to potentially alleviate ear, nose and throat congestion. It has been suggested that they may aid earwax buildup, tinnitus, sinusitis, headaches and pressure relief from flying. However, medical evidence is lacking, and these claims are not clinically proven.
We use Biosun candles, made from beeswax, untreated cotton, honey extract and herbs such as sage, St. John's wort and chamomile.
Each candle features a patented safety filter and a safety ring, making the treatment safer to use.
The candle is placed in the ear canal, and the flame will aid to provide a soothing, relaxing effect. At the end of treatment, a face and sinus drainage massage will be undertaken.
Ear candling should not be used if you have an ear infection, ear drum injury, or have recently had ear surgery. Please let us know of any ear conditions before booking so we can advise whether the treatment is suitable for you.
