Thermo-auricular therapy (Hopi ear candles)

Ear candles have a purely physical function. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of 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 ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache and headache, ear noise, stress and nervousness. This physical effect is often described directly after treatment as a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head area.

Treatment may also spontaneously cause freer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell.
A face and neck massage will follow the application of the ear candles which is designed to enhance the actions of the candles.
