What is Hopi. Also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy, Hopi ear candling is an ancient therapy with positive benefits. The process involves placing a specially designed hollow candle just inside the ear canal. The candle is then lit and the resulting gentle suction draws the impurities from the ear. A fire crackling sound may be heard and possibly some gentle popping. The rising air gently massages the ear drum and helps to regulate ear pressure. A small amount of ear wax is also removed during the treatment. A soothing sinus and facial massage concludes this relaxing treatment. Conditions which may benefit from a Hopi Ear Candling treatment: > Tinnitus > Sinusitis > Glue Ear > Hayfever & Rhinitus > Excessive ear wax > General hearing loss > Colds > Tension headaches > Travel sickness > Meniere’s disease There are some conditions where treatment would not be appropriate: > Infection of the ear > Inflammation of the ear > Surgery on the ear within last 3 months > Perforation of the ear drum > Lack of ear drum > Grommets, drains or ventilation tubes in ear > Auricular cysts > Known candle wax allergy
