Also known as thermo-auricular therapy, this is a traditional Native American treatment. The “candles” are hollow tubes made of cotton and beeswax impregnated with herbs. The chimney effect created draws impurities from the ear into the hollow candle and helps to regulate the pressure systems in the head. They may be helpful for earwax, sinusitis, pressure in the ears/head, soreness following infections, and soothing for headache, Bells Palsy and tinnitus. People who fly frequently or wear hearing aids often find ear candles helpful. My treatment includes massage around the ears and over the sinus areas which enhances the ear candle treatment. I use BIOSUN candles which are the only ear candles to be safety approved by the EC. Please telephone for further information. Hopi Ear candles are not suitable when the eardrum is perforated, grommets are in place, or with active infection and inflammation. Practitioners:
