How do they work?
The healing properties of Hopi Ear Candles have their foundation in two primary physical actions. Firstly, the slight under pressure (the chimney effect) inside the Ear Candle and the vibration of the rising air column serve to gently massage the ear drum and promote secretion in the frontal and Para nasal sinuses. This has an immediate subjective effect of regulating ear pressure. Users often describe a soothing, light sensation in the ear/head area. Secondly, the locally applied warmth stimulates vascularization, invigorates the immune system and reinforces the flow of lymph. At the same time, important acupuncture points and reflex zones are stimulated.
Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24 to 48 hours after.

A brief History.
This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilizations. It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but much later, on a purely physical basis. However, the practice reached the modern world via the native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona (it's interesting to note that Hopi means 'peaceful people'). Shaman healers traditionally used the ear candles. Ancient wall paintings show their importance in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe. The candles are still made today on the basis of the the old traditional formula originating from the Hopi Indians.
The magic of fire has fascinated people from the very beginning of time and Ear candles evoke a similar fascination having been used by many cultures since ancient times. The peoples of the Siberian parairies, Asia and native North and South American Indians mention Ear candles in their myths, with ancient rock paintings showing Ear candles being used at initiation and medicinal ceremonies.
The Hopi, the oldest Pueblo people, who possess great medicinal knowlege and spirituality, brought this knowlege to Europe.
