Hopi Ear Candles

 

Hopi ear candle treatment, also known as thermal auricular therapy, is a gentle and non-invasive practice traditionally used to promote relaxation and support ear, nose, and throat health.

The treatment involves placing a specially designed hollow candle—typically made of cotton, beeswax, and infused herbs like sage or chamomile—into the outer ear and lighting the opposite end.

As the candle burns, it creates a mild vacuum effect and gentle warmth, which may help soften earwax, stimulate circulation in the ear and sinus area, and promote a sense of calm.

While the practice has roots in ancient traditions, the name "Hopi" is often attributed to Native American culture, although there is limited historical evidence linking the modern therapy directly to the Hopi tribe.

Many people seek Hopi ear candling to relieve symptoms such as sinus congestion, headaches, tinnitus, or ear pressure, especially after flying or during seasonal allergies.
