What Is Hopi Ear Candling?

Hopi ear candling is a traditional therapy that involves placing a hollow, cone-shaped candle made from natural ingredients such as beeswax, honey, and herbs into the ear canal. The candle is lit at the opposite end, creating a gentle vacuum that is believed to help draw out impurities, excess earwax, and debris from the ear. This soothing treatment is often used to relieve symptoms such as earache, sinus congestion, tinnitus, and headaches. Additionally, Hopi ear candling is thought to promote relaxation and improve overall well-being. Originating from the Hopi Native American tribe, this practice combines elements of natural healing and holistic care.
