Thermo-auricular Therapy
(Also known as Hopi Ear Candling)
What is Hopi Ear Candling?
Hopi ear candling is a way of clearing wax blockages in the ear and sinuses. It is also a deeply-relaxing treatment which incorporates a facial massage. The use of ear candling has been found in the roots of peoples from the Siberian plains, Asia and native North and South American Indians. The Hopi, the oldest pueblo people with great medicine knowledge and a high degree of spirituality, brought this knowledge to Europe.
How is it Practised?
A special hollow candle (prepared in a traditional way) is placed gently in the ear whilst the client lays on their side. On lighting the candle you will hear the pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame. A light suction action (the chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the Ear candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum.
The candling is followed by re-juvenating holistic facial accupressure work and a deeply relaxing body balance.

What will happen during a consultation?
At your appointment you will lie down fully clothed. I will then use some gentle accupressure techniques to help you relax. You will then lie on one side to have the first earcandle work, then when that has completed we will work the other ear.
Following the candles, I will then work on facial accupressure points and neck points to help the body release toxins and continue with deep relaxation.
At the end of the session we will open the spent ear candles to identify when is a good time to have a follow up treatment.
How long will my consultation last?
Please allow 1 hour 10 minutes for your appointment.
What should I wear?
Please dress comfortably ideally with a loose fitting neck line.
How often will I need an appointment?
This depends upon your health condition and also how the candles burn. At the end of your appointment I will open up your spent candles and we will see how the candles have burnt. This will indicate when to follow up. Please remember it is ultimately your decision how often you wish to have an appointment.
What if I am unable to travel to the clinic?
Treatments are only held in clinic.
How much is my health investment?
Treatments are £50 and include the use of 2 genuine BioSun Ear candles.
