HISTORY OF EAR CANDLING

It is interesting to note that almost ever culture has some kind of ear candling in its healing modality, from China to Italy to remote aboriginal tribes and the jungle tribes of South America.

Whose concept it was is not of importance, what is of importance is that it was almost forgotten for many years, and in its place came antibiotics and syringing the ears.

Recently with the increased interest in alternative methods of healing, there has been a resurgence of the use of ear candling.

EAR CANDLING

This ancient remedy for cleansing and invigorating the ear has been around for centuries. Today we are seeing people making different choices about how they care for their own bodies.

Ear candling may be beneficial in cases of:

• Excessive wax build up
• Impaired hearing
• Fungal infections
• Sinus pain & irritation
• Toxic residue from medication
• Tinnitus, Meniere’s Syndrome
• Foggy head
• Poor lymphatic circulation
• Migraines
• Poor balance, vertigo
• Glue ear or swim ear
• Children’s ear problems

We only use the best ear candles made from 100% cotton & beeswax



THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETELY PAINLESS
AND IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE FOR CHILDREN'S EAR PROBLEMS

The Authenticity of the Hopi Candle

Thank you for your letter dated March 2, 2004, in follow-up to your September 19, 2003, requesting clarification of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office's response.

The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office is not aware of Hopi people ever practicing "Ear Candling." Biosun and Revital Ltd. are misrepresenting the name "Hopi" with their products. This therapy should not be called "Hopi Ear Candling." The history of Ear Candling should not refer to being used by the Hopi Tribe. Use of this false information with reference to Hopi should be stopped.

We appreciate your efforts to stop this false representation the United Kingdom, and we will inquire as to whether Martin Gashweseoma gave permission for the use of his image for the promotion of ear candles. Thank you for your interest in resolving this situation.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Lee Wayne Lomayestewa at the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office. Thank you again for your consideration.

Respectfully,
Leigh J. Kuwanwisiwma, Director
Hopi Cultural Preservation Office

Frequently Asked Questions About Ear Candling

1. What is Ear Candling?
Ear Candling is a natural way to clean out accumulated wax and white, flaky fungus from the ears. The accumulations withdrawn from your ears may be many months or even years old. Ear Candles are custom designed from natural fibers and tapered to precise specifications.

2. Does Ear Candling hurt?
Absolutely not! It is a painless, harmless and totally relaxing experience. If it weren't for the intermittent crackling and hissing sounds -- due to the burning of the wax and fungus being drawn up the chimney of the candle -- you would never know that anything was happening in your ear.

3. What is the importance of earwax and why do we need to remove it?
The function of earwax (cerumen) is to protect the surfaces of the ear canal. A waxy surface repels water -- it will bead up and the water will not adhere. Another protective function of earwax is preventing infection. Earwax is acidic, and bacteria does not thrive in an acid environment. Earwax normally just dries up and leaves the ear, but in some cases it can accumulate, causing a narrowing or blockage of the ear canal. Impacted earwax usually produces no symptoms until the canal becomes completely blocked.

4. How long does an Ear Candling session last?
About thirty-five (35) minutes per session.

5. How often should I have Ear Candling done?
Initially, most people need just 2 or 3 candling sessions to get their ears clean... However, some people, may need up to eight (8) sessions over a six month period. Once your ears are clear, personal preference should determine how often you have your ears candled. Every three to six months would be practical.

6. Who can benefit from Ear Candling?
Ear candling can benefit almost everyone, from infants to adults. Musicians can benefit - especially singers and horn blowers - who often have a lot more wax build up than other people. People who wear hearing aids can benefit. Also, those people who have had previous ear injuries can benefit from ear candling, as they tend to have a greater build up of wax and fungus.

7. Who should not have Ear Candling?
Ear Candling should not be done to people who have ear tubes, perforated eardrums, or artificial eardrums.
