Thermal Auricular Therapy or Hopi Ear candles
What it is
Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears. These ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.
How does it work?
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.
Though results may vary from person to person, some have reported Hopi Candles to be helpful with:
- 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
- Energetic revitalisation in cases of hearing impairment
- Relaxing and calming effect in cases of stress
- Noises in the ear including ringing, tinnitus
Remember, if in doubt, always contact your GP.
No contraindications are known but as a precaution, it is advisable not to use Hopi candles:
- If grommets are in place
- If there is inflammation or infection
- In the event of an allergic reaction to the ingredients of the candles themselves

Most clients find the treatment relaxing and describe a "slight relieved feeling" in the ears and head whilst additionally promoting a calming effect on their whole system. |
