The origins of this therapy came from the Hopi Indians in Arizona, whose descendants continue to practice their ancient tribal ways.
The candles are a combination of organic and natural materials which are placed in the ears and as the name suggests, are set alight & burnt in a controlled manner for a portion of their length. During burning, the ear candles create a light suction effect and the movement of the flame creates a vibration of the air in the ear candle generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This gives a very pleasant feeling which is generally unique to the person receiving the treatment.
