Ear Candling in South East Kent covering Dover, Deal, Ashford, Canterbury, Folkestone, Hythe, Whitfield, Sandgate, Wye

What is Ear Candling

Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Ear Candling) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of ear, nose or throat conditions. Ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.

How does it work?

The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. A constant high quality is ensured. The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.

Benefits

Though results may vary from patient to patient, some of my clients have reported Hopi Candles to be helpful with:

• * Excessive or compacted wax in the ears
• * Irritation in ears and sinuses
• * Pressure regulation in cases of : sinusitis / rhinitis / glue ear / colds / flu / headaches / migraine
• * Stimulation of local and reflex energy flow
• * Energetic revitalisation in cases of hearing impairment
• * Relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress
• * Noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus

Remember, if in doubt, always contact your GP.

Contraindications

It is advisable not to use Hopi candles:

• * If grommets are in place
• * If there is inflammation or infection
• * In the event of an allergic reaction to the contents.

However, most clients find the treatment relaxing and regularly describe a "slight relieved feeling" in the ears and head but also a relaxing and calming effect on the whole system.

History

This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. 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. However, the practice reached the modern world via the native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona (it's interesting to note that Hopi means peaceful people). Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers. Ancient wall paintings show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The candles are still made today on the basis of the old traditional formula originating from the Hopi Indians.
