Hopi Ear Candle

Therapist: Mike Way

The use of this ancient and natural therapy has been handed down to us by the North American Indians.

During the burning process, a gentle, soothing flow of heat is felt. Locally applied heat always has the effect of stimulating peripheral blood circulation, which in turn, strengthens the immunological defence system and enhances lymph circulation, it also stimulates the reflex zones and the energy points within the area of ear and sinus. The whole process is pleasant and non invasive, a normal course of two to three treatments at weekly intervals is recommended.
