What are Hopi Ear Candles?

Hopi Ear Candles are not conventional wax candles. They are hollow cotton tubes infused with natural ingredients such as St John’s Wort, Camomile, beeswax, honey, and therapeutic oils.

During treatment, you remain fully dressed and comfortably lying on your side, with your head supported so the ear canal is vertical. The candle is gently placed in the ear and, as it burns, many people notice a pleasant crackling sound and a warm, soothing sensation.

How Can They Help?

Clients often describe Hopi Ear Candling as deeply relaxing and calming. Some also find relief from the feeling of pressure in the ears or head, while others enjoy the overall sense of wellbeing.

To complete the session, an aromatic facial massage may be included. This focuses on pressure points around the face and ears and uses gentle friction techniques to encourage lymphatic drainage, leaving you feeling refreshed.
