Ear candles were used traditionally by Shaman healers. Ancient wall paintings (such as those found within the caves of the Grand Canyon) show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe.
The Biosun candles are hollow tubes about 12” in length and they work by creating a ‘Chimney’ effect into the ear canal and around the ear, nose and throat (ENT) to help loosen hardened wax and help to alleviate any ENT problems.

The hollow candle acts like a chimney. When the candle is lit at the top, there is a mild suction which will draw out impurities from the ear into the lower section of the candle. The rising air inside the ear then sets up a vibration which gently massages the eardrum. This helps to regulate the pressures involved inside the ear. The effect is sometimes described as a "lighter feeling" in the head and ear.

The flow of air creates a circulation of concentrated vapour; this is soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas. The warmth of the flow stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and increases immune defence and cleansing. It also stimulates energy and reflex points. The chimney effect inside the ear candle and the natural movement of the flame serve to gently massage the eardrum. This has an effect of regulating ear pressure.
Whilst the candle is burning, a pleasant warmth can be felt around the ear, head and neck area. After treatment the clients usually describe a soothing, liberating, light sensation in the ear and head area

What to Expect
A Hopi ear candle treatment will usually last between 45 minutes and an hour. Following a detailed medical history about any current ear or sinus problems and general state of health you will be asked to lie fully clothed on the treatment couch. One ear will be treated at a time as you lie either on your side.

The Hopi ear candle is lit at the top and the tapered end is gently placed into the ear, the therapist's hands are then placed lightly over the ear to steady the candle. Each candle takes about 12-15 minutes to burn
