HISTORY
Also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy, this is a pleasant non invasive ear treatment, used to treat a variety of conditions of the ear, nose and throat areas.
It is believed that the ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spirtual level, and later more physically. However, the practice reached the modern world via the Hopi Indians of North Arizona, USA and means 'peaceful people'.
Anciant wall paintings show their importance in rituals and healing ceromonies.The candles are still made today with the original formula, originating from the hopi indians.
HOW IT WORKS
A specialised candle is placed in the ear and lit. As the candle burns, the rising air creates a chimney effect, creating a mild suction action which helps to loosen compacted earwax. As the ingredients of the candle are vapourised, some of the air in the candle gets heavier and travels downwards into the ear. This creates gentle sound and pressure waves which gently massage the eardrum. This movement effects all of the ear structures, helping to regulate and balance pressure in the ears and upper respiratory tract.
