THE EAR CANDLE

Description of the candle

The auricular candle is shaped as a 25 cm, long hollow pipe (10"). It is made of fabric (like a wick) which is made of raw cotton fabric, neither threaded or bleached.

Burn to 3" from tip for adults.
Children must be 3 years old before starting and burn the candle 5" from the tip.

History

Populations from Asia and Indians from North America have, for centuries, transmitted the old practice of this gentle and natural therapy. Thanks to the Hopi Indians of Arizona, a population of high spirituality with vast knowledge of the health and natural practices, this technique has come down to us. The technique of the auricular Hopi candles is, by now, present on every continent.

Manufacture

The true original candle is homemade, with care, according to the traditional formula of the Hopi Indians. The hand crafted method of its manufacture as well as the selection of natural and biological ingredients assures the quality and efficiency of a true natural product. The fabric that is used must be vegetable and raw. The presence of linen or cotton seeds on the fabric canvas is an assurance of this. The wax must be yellow.

HOW IT WORKS

Chimney effect

As you place the candle in the ear, this results in a chimney effect due to the combustion. There is a vacuum effect first because the heat of the flame draws up the air contained in the hollow candle. A sensation of lightness is clearly felt in the sinus area and all the cavities of the head. The auricular secretions are gently stimulated, then drawn up by this chimney effect. The secretions and impurities will be like a layer around the external auditory canal or at the base of the candle.

Heat

Hot air, a result of the candle burning, creates a vacuum; the result is local stimulation of the peripheral blood circulation, activation of the immunological defense system and the increase of the lymphatic circulation. The heat will soften and melt the accumulation and the wax plugs, which will then be drawn up in the candle. The ceruminous glands will be activated. The heat works as a moxa while stimulating all the energy points of the ear, and giving an energetic balance of all the meridians. The heat will also act on an acupuncture point situated in the auricular canal. The stimulation of this anti-stress point will provide the user with the sensation of well-being as well as deep nerve relaxation.

*More than 90% of the users describe an intense and harmonious relaxation as well as calming effect on the whole system. A sensation of release and lightness occurs, mainly in the ears and the head.

Other positive effects

The pressure flow moves "smoke", concentrated inwards, bringing its beneficial effects to the whole auricular area. Moreover, the discharge of secretions is stimulated, favoring the evacuation of waste, impurities and pathogenic layers.

Auricular candle, by its calorific radiation as a moxa, stimulates the points of auricular therapy.

The auriculotherapy is a treatment of some infections by stimulation of acupuncture points situated on the auricle of the ear. According to this therapy, the human body is completely represented on the outer ear in the position of an upside down foetus. According to Chinese cartography, the meridians are all represented and spread out on the whole pavilion.

In no case can the auricular candle replace the competence of an auriculotherapist or and acupuncturist.

The Massage Technique

Aromatherapy oils are not recommended without qualified training. The properties can affect anyone who you are working on .

Inform the client that you are going to do a jaw and neck massage and place your hand with the oil gently on the chin and draw back towards the neck, spreading the oil. Repeat the draw from the chin to the neck and using a sweeping motion glide your hand down towards the base of the neck. Repeat this 3 to 5 times.

On the neck of the client brush gently down with your hand beginning at the ear lobe to the base of the neck. Do this 3 times.

The next step is to take your index finger and middle finger starting at the base of the ear pavilion draw down the neck with one even sweep followed by a half sweep and than a quarter sweep, repeat this 3 times, remember to do this slowly and gently.

From the side of the neck to the back of the neck using your fingers create small circles all over the area ending with a holding of the fingers at the base of the skull.

Move your fingers to the front of the pavilion at the top of the jaw line and using your index or middle fingers of both hands create a sweeping motion over this area repeating 3 times coming to rest at the pulse point and holding for several seconds.

Than gently massage over the whole pavilion and once you have finished this last step you are than ready to candle the ear.
