Auriculotherapy
(Ear Candling)
|
This
is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations.
It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially
probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis,
but much later on a purely physical basis. However, the practice
reached the modern world via the native American Hopi Indians of
North Arizona. Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers.
Ancient wall paintings show their importance in initiation rituals
and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The candles are still made
today on the basis of the old traditional formula originating from
the Hopi Indians. |
| What
are ear candles? |
Thermal
Auriculartherapy (also known as ear candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive
treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These
ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which
soothes, relieves and relaxes.
The candles
are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts,
sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown
flax. A constant high quality is ensured. The candles work on a
chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they
can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and
ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is
gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities
or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle "chimney",
although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue
after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the
surface 24-48 hours after. |
