Course overview

Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermoauricular Therapy, is an ancient and natural therapy which has been handed down to us through many civilizations.  The practice is safe, non-invasive and soothing, and it has a relaxing, calming effect on the whole body. The candles work on a ‘chimney’ principle, drawing up impurities from within the ear.  It is beneficial in the treatment of ear and sinus conditions. Locally applied heat also has the effect of stimulating blood circulation, which can strengthen the immune system and enhance lymph circulation.
