Hopi Ear Candles
It was the Hopi Indians who passed their knowledge on to the
Europeans. The Hopi considered candling to be a spiritual practice for
clearing the mind and senses - these days it is recognized for the health
benefits it can bring.
Ear Candles are a classic
clearing therapy related to the ear and head area. Clearing blockages to
the ear can lead to improved hearing, decreased sinus pain and relief from
persistent cold and flu like systems, sore throats, excessive ear wax, ear
ache, tinitus, lymphatic congestion, swollen glands, vertigo, snoring,
headaches, pain or pressure when flying.
What a typical Treatment Session
entails
You are asked to lie comfortably and listen to
relaxing music. The candle is then gently placed into the auditory canal,
where it is lit. The candle is held in a vertical position. The therapists
will hold the candle steady and prevent any ash falling on to you. You
will experience a pleasant crackling sound as the candle burns and a warm
comfortable feeling. The candle is then taken away while you lie there for
a few moments before turning over to treat the other ear. Most clients
find the whole experience very relaxing. Some fall asleep during
treatment. The session is completed by a relaxing facial drainage massage.
Cost
The treatment lasts 40 minutes and costs £25.
