The use of ear candles is evident in many cultures from around the world and has been used as an effective remedy since ancient times.  It is, however, from the Native American Hopi  Indians (meaning ‘peaceful people’) of North Arizona that the practice of ear candle treatments reached the rest of the world.

Ear candling is a safe, simple remedy which can help to relieve pressure in the head, fighting infection and gently encouraging the removal of toxins and excess wax from within the ears.  Other conditions which may benefit include: excess catarrh, sinusitis, glue ear, colds, flu, sore throats, rhinitis, hayfever, headaches, migraine, noises in the ear (tinnitus), labyrinthitis, meniere’s disease, vertigo, stress and tension.

Ear candles are all-natural products which, even today, are carefully hand crafted.  Each candle is constructed of organically grown flax, honey extracts, beeswax and therapeutic herbs, including Chamomile, Sage and St John’s Wort.  The candles are approx 20cm long tubes, one end of which is gently inserted into the opening of the ear canal whilst the other end is lit.  This creates a slight suction which in turn helps to draw out wax and impurities from within the ear.  At the same time, vaporised beeswax and the herbal essences in the smoke infuse their natural infection-fighting properties into the inner ear and sinuses.  The entire process is extremely relaxing and non-invasive.
