Enjoy the spicy herb and honey scents of the American Indian culture and the soft crackle of the Earcandle flame. Treat yourself to this intensively pleasant experience and gain harmony and peace of mind. Biosun.
Ear candles have been used by many cultures over time and historical roots can be found among the peoples of the Siberian prairies, Asia and the native North and South American Indians. Ancient rock paintings show the use of ear candles at initiations and medicinal ceremonies.
The Hopi North American Indians have great medicinal knowledge and are highly spiritual people and they brought this knowledge to Europe. They had the professional involvement of Biosun who make the candles, which have medical products class IIa according to medical device directive 93/42/EEC. Biosun have now had over 20 years of experience and have high quality and safety standards.
What are Hopi Ear Candles made from?
The ear candles that I use are always from Biosun and they are hand made from linen impregnated with pure beeswax, honey extract and traditional herbs such as sage, St John's Wort, Camomile and pure essential oils. They are 22cm long and have a burning time of between 10 and 12 minutes.
Once lit and introduced into the ear canal the candle produces a light suction action called the chimney effect and the movement of the flame creates a vibration of air which has a massage like effect on the eardrum. You will also benefit from the herbs and essential oils which bring wonderful relaxation.
What does a treatment involve?
The treatment begins as you lie comfortably on your side on the couch with your head on a pillow so that your ear canal is facing upwards. I will then offer the candle into your ear and ensure that it feels comfortable. It is then removed in order to be lit and once alight placed back into your ear. It is essential to form a good fit to ensure no smoke escapes from around the candle.
For the next 10 - 12 minutes you can relax as the candle burns down. I support the candle using both my hands and this also prevents any ash dropping onto your face. In my experience no ash has ever dropped as the burnt remains of the linen fold over and grow as the candle burns. The physical effects can be felt as a soothing sensation both in your ear and as the perfume invades your nostrils. You may hear the crackling as the candle burns.
When the candle has burnt down to just above the red line the candle is removed and extinguished. I place both hands over your ear for a few moments before you turn over and the process is repeated in the other ear.
After both ears have been treated you will lie on your back as I gently massage your face paying particular attention to the sinus areas.
You will then be left to lie and rest for a few minutes before getting up. We can then examine the contents of the candle to see if any wax was extracted. I will also ensure that no pale yellow soot is on the outer parts of your ear. There may be sooty deposits just inside the canal but they are best left to come out by themself. The session will end with a glass of water to drink before you depart.
Above all else this is a deeply relaxing therapy so it can be enjoyed for that reason alone.
However, if you are experiencing sinus problems or compacted wax then this treatment can provide very tangible benefits with the removal of wax easily and painlessly and/or relief from blocked or congested sinuses.
There have also been benefits for people suffering from headaches and migraines.
Treatment can also cause freer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell.
