The use of this ancient and natural therapy has been handed down to us by the peoples of Asia and the North American Indians. It was through the Hopi Indians, a people characterised by their extensive knowledge of healing techniques and their great spirituality that the practice of ear treatment candles reached Europe where they are widely used.
The candles are made from a pesticide free woven cotton which is treated with honey extract, essential oil of sage, pure beeswax, crushed traditional Indian medicinal herbs (manly sage, chamomile and beta-carotene)
The candle works by lowering the pressure in the ear from the chimney effect inside the candle, there is a gentle vibration caused by the rising air column through the movement of the flame, this gently massages the eardrum. There is a slight warming sensation that stimulates the peripheral blood circulation, this assists the defense system and strengthens the cleansing circulation of the lymph glands.
To satisfy the principal of balance both ears need to be treated, one after the other. The treatment of each ear takes about 10 minutes. In addition a facial massage is carried out.
The whole process is pleasant and non invasive. Recipients of the treatment regularly describe feeling an intensive yet harmonizing relaxing and calming effect over the whole body.
