The Hopi Ear
Candle
The Hopi ear
candle is quite different from conventional wax candles – it is
a hollow tube made in the traditional Hopi Indian way from pure
organic cotton, pure beeswax, and honey extract with a
combination of herbal extracts including Sage (an
anti-inflammatory, astringent herb), St John’s Wort (also an
anti-inflammatory, astringent herb which is very calming and
relaxing), Chamomile essential oil (known for its calming
benefits), Beta-carotene (Vitamin A – which helps to fight
infection and strengthen the immune system).
I use a
Biosun ear candle which has obtained the prestigious CE mark
(93/42-EEC) for medical devices. Biosun Ear Candles have been
crafted in Germany for over 15 years and are noted for their
high quality and standard of safety.
Thermal
auricular therapy is extremely safe and effective but there are
certain conditions which may present contra-indications, for
example, if grommets are in place, if there is inflammation or
infection present, in the event of an allergic reaction to the
composition of the candles. This is not a definitive list -
there are other conditions where it is inadvisable to carry out
treatment.
