Hopi Ear Candles - Definition

Hopi Ear Candles (often shortened to Ear Candles) are hollow tubes traditionally made from organically grown flax, extracts of honey, beeswax and herbs. Hopi ear candles candles provide a non-invasive treatment of the ears which are used to treat a variety of conditions in a practice often known as thermal auricular therapy. Ear candles are used widely throughout Europe, America and Asia by GP’s and hospitals to treat a variety of ear, nose and throat conditions. As the hopi ear candle treatment is a non-invasive, relaxing and soothing experience, the popularity of earcandling continues to increase and is a frequent topic of health related radio and magazine articles.

How Hopi Ear Candles work

The patient simply lies on their side and relaxes as a lit hopi candle is placed in their ear. When lit, the ear candles have a slight sucking action often referred to as the chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. The rising air inside the ear sets up a vibration which gently massages the eardrum. This can help to regulate the pressures involved inside the ear. The flow of air within the ear candle creates a circulation of concentrated vapour. This is soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas. Most impurities or deposits are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the lower section of the candle after removal from the ear, or some wax could even work its way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.

Ear candles are an ancient and natural therapy found in the history of many civilisations, used as far afield as Asia, the Siberian prairies, and most notably native America. It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but much later on a purely physical basis.

The practice of using hopi ear candles (referred to commonly as earcandling, or more fully as thermal auricular therapy) reached the modern world via the native North American Hopi Indians. Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers. Ancient wall paintings (such as those found within the caves of the Grand Canyon) show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe.
