Hopi Ear Candles

Hopi Ear Candles are quite literally candles that are placed inside the ear. Usually made from natural ingredients, they are shaped to form a hollow tube. They are held in position and lit by the therapist. Gradually any impurities are drawn to the surface, many of which are carried away through the candle, although some can be found in the residue after the candle has been removed from the ear.

Hopi Ear Candles were originally used by ancient Greeks and Native Indians for spiritual rituals and cleansing purposes. More recently the physical healing effects of the candles was understood. The name 'Hopi' comes from the Hopi Indian Tribe of North America, where the knowledge and practice of the ear candle treatment reached the western world.

It is believed that the candles work on a chimney principle; as they burn, gentle warmth is experienced around the ear which stimulates the blood and lymphatic circulation which is soothing and calming.
