Hopi Ear Candles

A Brief History

Hopi Ear Candling is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilizations. It is believed that the ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially 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 shaman 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.

How do Hopi Ear Candles Work?

The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing up any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalize the pressure in the head and ears making them suitable for most conditions, Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapor collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle.

The candles are made from natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax.
