Hopi Ear Candle

Also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy



 

History Of Ear Candling

 

The date of when Hopi Ear Candling was first found is unknown, however there is evidence that this treatment dates back to 2500BC. During this time people used this technique and were familiar with practicing Ear Candling. At this time it was only know as Ear Candling. Ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians, made reference in using it.  

 

Now as modern medicine has developed over the years, the treatment of Ear Candling was forgotten and syringing and anti-Biotic's became more popular in helping conditions with the ear, nose and throat. It is only recently that Ear Candling has started to become more popular and widely known.  

 

Today the Ear Candling Treatment is widely known as Hopi Ear Candle originating from the Hopi Indians. Biosun have been researching the benefits and uses of the candles since 1985 and are actively working to re-establish their popularity.

 

How the Ear Candle's work

 

The best way to describe how the candle works is that they are similar to chimneys, this is because the candle is lit at the top and the heat from the candle helps to draw out the impurities. This is achieved by the airflow which is circulating in, around and out the top of the candle. This process is known as convection.

 

A mild suction occurs and the heat helps circulate the vapours inside the ear which gently massages the eardrum (also known as Tympanic Membrane). This action helps to regulate the pressure system within the head including the sinuses, which may be infected.

This action along with the facial massage can help in several ways, such as:

 

  • Herbal Vapours sooth any irritated areas of the outer ear, and may help strengthen the immune system

 

  • The heat and the massage can help stimulate the blood flow, strengthen and increase the lymph glands and stimulate energy points on the external part of the ear

 

  • The mild suction of the candles can help regulate the pressure system within the ear as advised above.
