Thermo-Auricular Therapy is an ear, nose and throat treatment and has been around for centuries and is also known as Hopi ear candling. It is as a result of the Native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona that ear candling and its benefits is known today. The candles are made of flax and are infused with Hypericum (St. Johns wort), honey, sage, beeswax and chamomile. The candles when lit and gently placed in the ear create a mild suction and produce a vapour containing the extracts of the candle which is drawn into the ear softening any wax leaving a golden deposit within the inner ear. The vibrations created inside the candle gently massages the tympanic membrane (eardrum) balancing the pressure in the ears, stimulating peripheral blood flow and lymph. This gentle, non invasive treatment is also suitable for children. www.thermo-auricular.com
