The gentle warmth created from the candle creates a chimney effect and sets up a soothing massage of the ear.  Very little, if any, smoke is normally generated from the treatment.  The treatment is normally finished with an acupressure massage on the face, neck and head.

A typical treatment usually lasts 1 hour.

Some of the conditions Ear Candling can help with are:

• Tinitus, compacted ear wax and glue ear
• Regulation of pressure in ears and head
• Catarrh and asthma
• Headache and migraine
• Sore throats and hay fever
• Rhinitis and sinusitis
• Relaxation in conditions of anxiety and stress
• Stimulation of lymphatic system and metabolism

NB:  Ear Candling cannot be treated on anyone with a perforated ear drum.

Course Introduction

This popular therapy is now available as an intensive one-day course.  The day covers everything you need to know in order for you to safely and professionally conduct a Hopi Ear Candle therapy session.

As part of the course, students will be required to give and experience the therapy.  Please let us know if you have any ear issues/damage and if you have any special requirements prior to the course.
 

Refreshments are provided and fresh water will always be available, although you are encouraged to make your own arrangements for lunch.  There are various shops and supermarkets located in the area that provide a wide range of food, including vegetarian options.  You are requested not to have any caffeine or nicotine throughout the day.  

The course is informal and you are asked to wear comfortable clothing.  You are not required to bring anything with you since everything will be outlined in the manual handed out on the day, however, if you wish to make additional notes bring a pen and notepaper.
