Thermal Auricular Therapy

It is believed that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and American Hopi Indians used ear candles for the cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual level.  Centuries later the remarkable efficiency of the candles as a physical treatment was discovered. 

The American Hopi Indians, the ‘people of peace’ applied ear candling as part of their healing arts for Ear, Nose and Throat problems.  Today it is widely used through Europe and American hospitals as an alternative to conventional treatments such as antibiotics, ear syringing and Grommets.

You will lie on your side on a massage table and a protective cloth with a slit in it will be placed over the ear. The ear candle will be lit and gently inserted into the opening of the ear. Once treatment is completed, it will be repeated on the other ear. During treatment you may experience gentle heat around the ear area. You may hear popping sounds and a pleasant crackling as the ingredients are burning.

A treatment lasts approximately One Hour.  An initial course consists of one treatment a week for three weeks.  Then a further six visits, once every two weeks, generally completes the full programme of care.
