Hopi Ear Candle Demonstration

A relaxing treatment, safe for children, adults and during pregnancy. It is believed to originate from a Native American Indian tribe called the Hopis (meaning 'peaceful people'). Hopi ear candles are used to support imbalances within the ear, nose, throat and chest areas including build up of wax, ringing in the ears, hearing difficulties and sinus problems as well as colds, 'flu, sore throats, headaches and migraines. The ear candle is not actually a candle but a cotton tube impregnated with beeswax, sage, St John's Wort, chamomile, honey and beta-carotene. It is lit and the non-burning end is placed gently into the outer ear passage. The candle generates a gentle heat that produces a light suction action and draws impurities gently to the surface, where they can be removed. Most deposits evaporate and are carried away through the candle 'chimney', but some are found in the condensed candle wax residue. A lymphatic facial massage completes the treatment to encourage further drainage. Hopi ear candling can be combined with massage and reflexology.
