Hopi Ear Candling Ritual
What is Ear Candling
Modern ear candling also known as thermal auricular therapy, this therapy once named ‘ear coning’ was practiced in ancient times in healing ceremonies and initiation Rituals, coning was used by master healers who worked on the physical and intermediate world.
Hopi ear Candling is a nurturing and non-invasive therapy and used to treat a variety of conditions of the ear ,nose and throat.
About the Ear
The ‘auricle’ which is commonly referred to as the ‘ear’ plays an important part in our sense of balance, the ear collects & tunes sound waves then directs them into the ear canal; within the canal are numerous wax glands that secrete sticky material known as ear wax; to collect dust, microbes and other particles to protect them from reaching the’ tympanic membrane’ referred to as the ear drum, this separates the outer ear from the middle ear and is described as stretched skin like a drum that has the ability to vibrate when sound waves impinge on its surface.
The middle ear is filled with air, within the cavity lie the auditory ossicles which play an important part in converting sound waves into nerve signals, enabling us to hear. It is connected to the external environment through the eustachian tube, the eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the nasal-sinus cavity, this tube opens into the nasal part of the pharynx and enables air to move from the middle ear to the external environment and vice versa and pressure (fluid build-up) within the middle ear equalises that of the external environment and why it is important to balance the ears and drain any fluid build -up.
How does Ear Candling work
Biosun ear candles are regularly tested and wear a safety symbol (CE), the candles are made from pure organic cotton infused with beeswax, sage, honey, St john’s wort and Chamomile. These cotton sticks vaporise therapeutic healing properties whilst causing a gentle warming & suction that creates a vacuum to massage the ear canal, eardrum and eustachian tube to draw impurities from within the ears & the entire sinus system of the face & head.
The scared space created will help you deeply relax, the treatment will begin laid on your side fully clothed in a comfortable position on a plinth, the hopi ear candle is placed inside the ear, lit and held in place for 10 minutes whereby you will experience warmth inside and around the ears. The procedure is then repeated on the other ear and you will feel deeply relaxed as the ear candle aims to draw out any impurities. You will also receive a lymphatic drainage massage of the neck, face and head to detoxify and improve blood circulation along with increasing oxygen and nutrients to the head and face.
Wax takes 24 to 48 hours for debris to drain from the ears.
