The Hopi candle is not infact a candle as such, but a hollow tube made out of cotton flax. The flax is impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils (chamomile, sage and St Johns Wort), the healing properties of which have been known to the Hopi tribe for many years.

The treatment
The treatment is very gentle and relaxing. The 'Candle' is placed carefully in the opening of ear and lit. As it burns it will produce a local heat which is a wonderfully relaxing experience. The warm air combined with the oils and herbs soften any wax and the gentle vacuum effect causes the wax to be drawn up into the base of the candle. Once treatment time is complete the candle is removed and the treatment is repeated on the other ear with a second candle. At the end of the candle treatment a very relaxing facial massage is given, paying particular attention to the sinus and ear areas. The treatment is finally completed with a neck and shoulder massage.
Please note that anyone with a perforated ear drum or with grommets this treatment is not advisable.
