Hopi Ear Candles
| HISTORY |
The name Hopi is derived from the name of a Native American Indian Tribe. The Hopi Tribe are renowned for their extensive healing ability and their spiritual knowledge. The literal meaning of Hopi is “peaceful ones”. Martin Gashweseoma is a traditional Hopi Elder and the Guardian of the sacred stone tablets of the Fire Clan; he is attributed to be responsible for bringing this tradition to the west.
Ear candles have been extensively used for centuries by North and South American Indians and have also been traced to China, The Siberian Prairies and Asia.
In the last few years ear candling has became very popular in America. Britain and the rest of Europe have also experienced a sharp increase in demand.

As the candle burns, a localised heat may be experienced the warm air that is produced combined with the oil and herbs soften ear wax, this and any other impurities are drawn from the ear into the base of the candle.
