Hopi Earcandles
Hopi Earcandles are a gentle and relaxing ceremony. It is very good at extricating excess wax from the ear safely, gently and with no trauma, unlike modern ear syringing at the Doctors’. You can also measure how much you have removed! It is good for treating glue ear (chronic otitis media) as long as there is no current infection or when grommets (tympanostomy tube implants) or a burst ear drum are present. The same is true, if there is any inflammation or infection in the ear or the surrounding area. I have found it helpful in cases of tinnitus (ringing, hissing or buzzing in the ears) as long as it has not been present for years or in case of hearing loss, except due to exposure to high sound levels, or other cause of nerve deafness. Very rarely, there are allergic reactions to the ingredients that have been reported. This is in the form of spontaneous itching, in which case – STOP! and relieve it with some ear drops or a few drops of extra virgin olive oil in the ear canal.
