Widely used by GPs in Germany, as well as in European and American hospitals for many ear, nose, throat and head problems; Hopi ear candles are used as an alternative to conventional allopathic treatments such as antibiotics, ear syringing and grommets.

Earcandles work on the chimney principle by drawing a column of air through the External Auditory Canal, which vibrates gently massaging the eardrum. This has a regulating effect on the pressure systems within the inner ear. The pressure flow also circulates a concentrated vapour, enriched with herbal extract. These pass through the Tympanic Membrane down the Eustachian tube, creating a soothing effect on the throat, surrounding glands and organs. Ear secretion flow is gently stimulated; the vapour collects and removes impurities and deposits. During the treatment the client feels a comforting warmth and can hear a light crackling sound - said to sound like rain.
