HOPI-EAR CANDLING

Ear candling are a century old remedy used by many cultures worldwide. Ear candles are now being used in the modern world as a healing and relaxation treatment. The candles give your ears a natural warmth and heal restore balance to your body. The pointed end of the candle is placed in your ear. Proponents of this treatment, called ear candling, claim that the warmth created by the flame causes suction. The suction pulls earwax and other impurities out of the ear canal and into the hollow candle.
