Ear candling is also known as thermo-auricular therapy and is an ancient technique practised by various cultures, including a Native American Indian Tribe, the Hopis, which gives this therapy its name. The candle flame creates a vacuum which helps to loosen wax and draw out other debris which may be in the ear canal. This treatment is a pleasant and relaxing experience and it does not hurt. Ear candling can be very beneficial for conditions of the ears and sinuses, including tinnitus, and is particularly beneficial when combined with an Indian Head Massage Treatment.
