THERMO AURICULAR THERAPY (HOPI EAR CANDLES)

Thermo Auricular Therapy originated from the Hopi Indians, the oldest Pueblo Indians who were the first settlers of North America.

Ear candling can be helpful in a wide range of conditions such as glue ear, any conditions requiring the insertion of grommets, excessive ear wax, hay fever, colds & flu, sinusitis, headaches and migraines, snoring, flying or diving pressure problems, labyrinthitis, neuralgia, tinnitus, Meniere's disease and vertigo. It is a very relaxing and soothing treatment which is suitable for children.

Despite the name "candle" it is in fact a hollow tube, made from organically grown linen or flax which is blended with Honey, St John's Wort, Chamomile, Sage & Beeswax.

Both ears are treated with the candles followed by a short relaxing face and head massage which enhances the action of the candles, helps to eliminate toxins, stimulates the drainage of the sinus tubes and aids relaxation.

During the treatment the candles work by causing a light suction action (chimney effect), the movement of the flame creates a warm heat and vibration of the air in the ear canal, generating a massage-like effect on the ear drum. This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ear, forehead and sinuses.

This treatment is not suitable for anyone who has inflammation or ear infection, perforated eardrums or grommet implants, or allergic to any of the above listed ingredients. If you are undergoing medical treatment, or there are doubts about your current state of health, then you should consult you GP before receiving treatment.

A Thermo Auricular therapy sessions usually last between 45 and 60 minutes.

A course of treatments would usually be 3 sessions. However, the number of treatment sessions required will vary depending on the condition and symptoms being treated.

Some of the benefits of Thermo-Auricular Therapy may be to;

• Reduce tinnitus
• Improve hay fever symptoms
• Increase the level of hearing
