(Hopi Ear Candles) Hopi Ear Candling or Thermo Auricular Therapy as it is also known can be helpful in treating many conditions of the ear, nose and sinuses. The candles work by vapourising their ingredients once lit. The candle creates a mild suction which allows the vapours to gently massage the eardrum and auditory canal. The heat from the ear candle helps to soften and break up any ear wax or mucus that is blocking the head and ears, and once broken down the body finds it easier to flush the waste away through the lymphatic system. This treatment is therefore detoxifying, and is still working in the body up to 48 hours after the treatment. There is also the added benefit of the herbal essences within the ear candle helping to relax and calm you.
