Hopi Ear Candling
Ear candling is a very gentle and safe way of working with ears. Many people
think that hot wax is poured into the ear to help remove ear wax. This is far
from the truth!
The BioSun Candles we use @ Arcadia are hollow tubes made from organic linen,
rolled in bees wax and a mixture of herbs (Sage, Chamomile & St John’s wort),
and have a small safety filter in them that prevents anything falling back into
the ear canal.
What Happens in a session?
First you lie down on one side. One end is lit, and the other is gently placed in your ear creating a seal. We stay with you at all
times and hold the candle, so there is no chance of you catching fire!
The candles have 3 phases, firstly the smoke gently enters the ear and the
mixture of herbs calm nerve endings and go to boost the bodies own immune
system. Secondly the warmth from the candle gentle warms and softens wax in
the ear canal AND in the inner ear. Thirdly the candle acts as a chimney and
draws wax from the ear canal. There is a quiet crackling noise created by the
candle burning that is soothing and often people fall asleep!
We then do a very gentle massage around the ear and on the face. You then turn
over and we do the same with the other ear. It is important to do both ears as it
affects our balance.
Finally you lay on your back and receive a gentle massage of
the neck, head and face. A session lasts just under an hour.
Ear candling is suitable for all ages and even animals! It IS VERY GENTLE and
very relaxing.
It is not something new, it has been around for thousands of years, practised by
many cultures from the Ancient Egyptians, Chinese to the Native Americans.
