Hopi Ear Candle, also known as 'Thermal
Auricular Therapy' is an extremely comforting, relaxing and beneficial treatment. The therapist inserts a large hollow candle into the clients ear while the client lies on his/her side. The candle acts as a chimney and the vibration of the air rising up through the candle, and the natural movement of the flame gently massages the eardrum.
A
warm swirling current of air and a light vacuum occurs which 'dries up'
any moisture. This takes approximately 10-15 minutes per candle / ear.
