π€ Something new is coming to Beauty Within after Easter! π€
ππΌ Hopi ear candling is a traditional therapy used by the Ancient Greeks and was popularised by the Hopi Indian Tribe of the American South-West
π―οΈ Modern day Hopi ear candles are cotton tubes filled with beeswax, therapeutic oils and honey, that are gently inserted into the ear to draw out impurities and relieve pressure
ππΌ The client lies down on their side with their head supported on a pillow so the ear canal is vertical. The process is completely painless and merely involves placing a hollow candle inside the ear β as far as is comfortable
π―οΈ The candle is then lit, resulting in a gentle suction motion which draws the wax and impurities from the ear. The easiest way to understand the science behind it is comparing it to a chimney. The movement and compression between the ear canal and the candle chamber generates air flow, the burning action infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapour. This acts as a massaging function as well as softening any debris and wax. Gentle popping can sometimes be heard, this is due to the rising air pushing through the auditory canal, which helps regulate ear pressure
β Hopi ear candles should never be used if you have any inflammation or infection in the ear, and are not suitable for people who have had recent ear surgery or those with ear grommets or tubes, perforated eardrums or allergies to any of the ingredients making up the candle
