Hopi Ear Candling
also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy

What is Ear Candling
Ear Candling, a safe, simple, non-invasive natural relaxing cleansing method, uses long hollow Ear candles made out of cotton flax impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils to extract earwax and other debris from the ear canal. The proponents of this method say that Ear Candling improves mental clarity and balances fluids that may cause headaches.

Treatment
The candle is placed in the ear orifice and ignited. It is allowed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the ear wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged. The treatment is repeated on the other ear.
