Ear Candles in Stratford on Avon
- Hopi Ear Candle is a pleasant and non invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. The ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relaxes and relieves.
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. Ear candles were used traditionally by Shaman healers. Candles are still made today on the basis of the old traditional formula originating from the Hopi Indian.
The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, and 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 te 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 later.
The benefits of ear candling are:- - 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 sress
- noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus
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.
You are asked to lie comfortably and listen to relaxing music. The candle is then gently placed into the auditory canal, where it is lit. It is held in a vertical position, my hand keeping the candle steady and preventing any ash falling on to you. you will experience a pleasant crackling sound as the candle burns and a warm comfortable feeling. You then turn over to treat the other ear.
The treatment lasts about 45 minutes but a facial massage is included concentrating on the sinus areas.
