Complementary Holistic Therapy for your Ears, Nose & Throat
Ear candling is a simple treatment that offers benefits for a wide range of conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat. It can promote deep relaxation and helps to relieve stress and revitalise the body, so is a perfect complementary therapy to have alongside Reiki.
It is thought that the Ancient Greeks were among the first to use the Ear candling (also known as thermo-auricular therapy). They referred to it as ‘coning’ and used it specifically for cleansing, healing and purifying on a spiritual basis. Gradually more ancient cultures picked up on the practice, including the Egyptians, Mayan and Inca tribes.
The modern incarnation of ear candling is based on the technique envisaged by the Native American Indian tribe, the Hopis (meaning ‘peaceful people’). The Hopis used ear candling in rituals and healing ceremonies and developed a specific candle formula to enhance the treatment’s holistic and therapeutic benefits. The main ingredients they used in their candles included cotton, beeswax, honey, sage, chamomile and St John’s Wort - a formula still used in modern ear candle treatments today.
