Hopi Ear Candling

The practice reached the modern world via the native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona. It was through the Hopi Indians, that the practice of ear treatment candles reached Europe, as well as Canada and the USA.  The Ear Candles are made of linen which has been soaked in Honey, Camomile, St Johns Wort and Sage.  The woven candle is placed in the ear, whilst the client lies on their side (on a therapist couch).  The candle is then lit and replaced in the ear.  This creates a chimney effect, gently massaging the ear drum and promoting secretion in the sinuses, helping to clear them.  This has an immediate effect of regulating the ear pressure.  At this stage clients often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area.  The locally applied warmth of the candle stimulates and invigorates the immune system, reinforcing the flow of lymph. 

The whole process is pleasant and non-invasive. Recipients of the treatment regularly describe feeling an intensive, yet harmonious relaxing and calming effect over the whole system.

Saol Therapies use BioSun Ear Candles as we have found them to be excellent in treating nose & throat congestion, sinusitis, headaches, stress or anxiety related symptoms.  The candles are certified medical products, according to EC guidelines 93/42 (EEC), regularly tested by independent institutes. Only pure beeswax, honey extract and traditional herbs such as Sage, St. John’s Wort and Camomile are used.

Can it do any harm? 

It is advisable not to perform Ear Candling if you suffer from any of the following: -

• Perforated eardrums.
• Grommets are in place.
• Any inflammation or infection of the ear.
• Any skin diseases in and around the ear.
• Any allergic reaction to the Ear Candle ingredients. This is very rare.

What can it treat?

Ear Candling is helpful in many cases of earache (i.e. compacted/excessive wax), headache, sinusitis, stress, nasal congestion (it can improve the sense of smell) and it can help relieve the symptoms of colds/ migraine and reduce snoring.

What aftercare can you expect from SAOL Therapies?

Once the treatment is finished, it’s essential to drink lots of water or herbal teas to boost the immune system and help the lymphatic system do its job.  We’ll have a chat about the treatment, and we very much welcome feedback from you.  In a day or so, if you wish, we will give you a call to check how you are feeling.  There is no obligation to buy more treatments, however regular treatments do give you a boost, both physically and mentally.  We welcome everyone, who would like to give any of our treatments a try!
