Hopi Ear Candle in Kent: Thermal Auricular Therapy
Safe Painless Ear Cleansing

Quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi Ear Candle (Thermal Auricular Therapy) is  a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities and relieve pressure in the head and sinuses.

History of the Ear Candle

​

Ear candle tradition was originally practised by the Ancient Greeks, and it was later made popular by the Hopi tribe of native Americans. This tribe was especially well known for its healing knowledge and spirituality, and they originally used ear candles for spiritual cleansing. It is common knowledge that ear candles has many benefits for your overall health, encouraging excess wax to leave the ears and helping you to feel calmer.

The ear candle is lit and the resulting gentle suction and vacuum draws the wax and removes impurities or deposits from the ear often referred to as the “Chimney” effect. The rising air gives the ear drum a gentle massage and also helps regulate ear pressure.  This is soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas. The burning action infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapour, which is drawn into the auditory canal. This performs a massaging function as well as softening any impurities.  None of the candle residue goes into the ear.
