HOPI CANDLES (THERMAL AURICULAR THERAPY)

A Surprisingly relaxing and extremely soothing treatment and very effective for a number of conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat areas.

WHAT IS A HOPI CANDLE?

Developed centuries ago by the tribe of Hopi American Indians, usually using bees wax and essential oils to make a cone like tube, one end is inserted into the outer ear whilst the other end is lit.  The oils, warmth and smoke gently work to boost the body's own immune system and lymph drainage enabling the body to re-balance equilibrium and homeostasis.

There are now many different makes and shapes of candles that have been developed. Each practitioner will have their own preference to which type they use, but after my own experience in using different makes I only use BioSun candles as I have found these to be the most effective and closest to the original Hopi candles.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A HOPI TREATMENT?

Almost anyone from the young to the old, there are exceptions and these include anyone with perforated ear drums, grommits and weeping eczema within the ear.  

A full consultation must be taken before a treatment is given but an initial check of the criteria before taking a booking for this and all therapies is also made.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS FROM HOPI TREATMENTS?

Relief from Hay Fever, Sinusitis, Compacted Ear Wax, Vertigo, Catarrh, Rhinitis, Flu, Headaches, Migraine, Tinnitus & Noises/Ringing in the Ears, Glue Ear, Asthma, Sore Throats and Colds, regular treatments can also Regulate Pressure in the Ears and Head, Calms and Relaxes in cases of Stress and Anxiety, Stimulates Blood & Energy Flow, Improves Lymphatic System & Metabolic Rate, Energetic Revitalisation of Hearing Impairment.
