Hopi Ear Candles.
Although called
candles they are in fact hollow tubes made from organically
grown flax (linen), beeswax and honey extracts, with sage to stimulate
circulation and relax peripheral blood vessels, camomile, a sedative which
is anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic, and St John's Wort, a tonic which
restores the nervous system.
The candles
contain a filter to prevent any backflow into the ear.
During a treatment, one end of the candle is lit, the other end is placed
gently into the ear opening. A chimney effect then occurs, whereby gentle
suction draws out debris form the ears, stimulating secretion and removing
impurities and deposits.
The gentle warmth
stimulates the blood and lymph circulation, aiding the
immune system and the body's own natural cleansing. Pressure in the sinus
cavities is equalised and regulated.
Sometimes removed
deposits e.g. earwax can be found in the candle after
treatment or debris can work its way out over 24-48 hours.
The treatment is soothing and relaxing and is followed by a light face
massage.

compacted wax in the ears
