What is Thermo Auricular Therapy?

Thermo Auricular Therapy is the professional use of Hopi Ear Candles, used to aid relaxation, relief of human, ear, nose, and throat conditions and associated problems. These include sinusitis, headaches and migraine, tinnitus, excessive wax, catarrh, glue ear, and mild hearing loss.

The ear candles are gently placed into the outer edge of the ear canal and allowed to burn. The candles work very gently on a chimney principle. The pleasant warm smoke gently vibrates and the warm air generated gives a very pleasant massage effect to the ear drum. This in turn helps to balance the ear and sinuses and helps in softening ear wax, which than can be dispersed naturally. The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta carotene and organically grown flax.

This ancient and natural therapy has been handed down by many civilisations. We are told that many ancient cultures including the Romans, Greeks and Egyptians uses some form of ear candling.

Hopi Ear Candles – how they work – they have a purely physical function. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the candles, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This includes a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache, headache, ear noise, stress and nervousness.
