Used by the Ancient Greeks to cleanse, purify and heal on a spiritual basis. The practice reached the modern world via the Native American Hopi Indians of north Arizona. Candles are made traditionally from beeswax, honey, sage, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. The candles can be used as a relaxing treatment in contrast to high stress western lifestyles and to treat numerous problems relating to the ear, neck and face areas.
During this relaxing treatment, the candles work on a chimney principle where the vapour draws impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. The mild suction gently massages the eardrum and auditory canal. Most impurities get carried away through the candle chimney, although often they are visible in the residue.
Used for
- Excessive, compacted wax in the ears
- Sore throats and hay fever
- Irritation in ears and sinuses
- Pressure regulation
- Headaches and migraine
- Stimulation of local and reflex energy flow
- Relaxation and calming effect
- Tinnitus and ringing
- Vertigo and meniers disease
You will lie on your side whilst the candle is inserted into your ear and held in a vertical position. You will experience a crackling sound as the candle burns down and the residue turns to dust. Gentle massage of the sinuses promotes drainage and the removal of impurities. Your ear is cleaned and then you will then turn onto your other side and the process is repeated. The treatment completes with a facial massage to stimulate energy flow to the area and improve circulation. Contact Purity now to book an appointment!
