Hopi Earcandles

THE LEGEND

The magic of fire has fascinated people from the very beginning of time and control of this element gave light and warmth. Earcandles evoke a similar fascination and have been used by many cultures as an effective natural therapy since ancient times.

Historical roots can be found among the peoples of the Siberian prairies, Asia and the native North and South American Indians.

Ancient rock paintings show the use of Earcandles at initiation rituals and medicinal ceremonies.

The Hopi, the oldest Pueblo people with great medicinal knowledge and a high degree of spirituality, brought this knowledge to Europe with the professional involvement of BIOSUN.

Since 1985 BIOSUN have been researching the use of Earcandles and re-establishing their popularity.

Increasing numbers of people in our culture have enjoyed and benefited from the pleasant effects of this age-old ceremony.

HOW THEY WORK

Earcandles have a purely physical function. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the Earcandle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum.

This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses. It is soothing and helpful for earache and headache, ear noise, stress and nervousness. These benefits have been well known through 15 years of experience and confirmed by thousands of doctors worldwide.

This physical effect is often described directly after the treatment as a soothing, pressure and pain relieving sensation, mainly in the ear and head area.

Treatment may also spontaneously cause freer nasal breathing and an improved sense of smell, even when the nose was blocked before treatment.

Furthermore, the whole ceremony brings a wonderful relaxation, a deep sense of security and a feeling of happiness which is seldom experienced.

INSTRUCTIONS - Please read carefully

BIOSUN Earcandles are about 22 cm long and have a burning time of 10-12 minutes. Earcandles are used by setting them alight. Beware of the fire hazard!

For safety reasons we do not recommend you to carry out the treatment by yourself. It should always be done by a second person.

This will ensure your safety during the treatment and enables a considerably deeper relaxation. Before you start, always place a glass of water within reach in order to extinguish the Earcandle.

Do you suffer from chronic or acute diseases? Do you feel earcandling may not suit you? In this case you should by all means consult a therapist of your confidence for futher advice.

In the presence of a perforated eardrum or tympanostomy tube implants we strictly do not recommend the use of Earcandles. The same applies to all kinds of inflammations of the ear or skin diseases in and around the ear.

Very occasionally allergic reactions to its ingredients are reported. This takes the form of spontaneous itchiness and can be relieved with suitable eardrops.

The application of Earcandles is at your own risk and responsibility. If you follow the instructions carefully, the application will be simple and safe.

		SAFE AND EASY USE OF EARCANDLES Preparation: Create a relaxed atmosphere before you start. Relaxation music and essential oils are particularly useful to help achieve this. You will experience earcandling much more intensely if you keep your eyes closed. The room should be draught-free, so the flame will burn smoothly. Keep yourself warm with a blanket. Lie down on one side in a comfortable position. Support your head slightly with a pillow so that the auditory canal is in a vertical position. Draught in the room while the Earcandle is alight can result in small, cold ash particles blowing off the Earcandle. In order to protect your hair and clothing, your partner can place a cover around the treatment area.

	Lighting: When preparations are complete, your partner sits comfortably next to you. He/She should light the Earcandle at the unlabeled end and place the non- burning end gently into the outer ear passage. A light turning movement should be applied until the Earcandle is sealed in place. The Earcandle is placed properly when you hear the pleasant crackling and hissing of the flame. Your partner will hold the Earcandle firmly in place throughout the process. He/She will take care that no hair is within reach of the flame. Burning down: Remember the Earcandle has to be lit at the unlabeled end, opposite the safety filter! It will never put itself out! At the most, the Earcandle may be burnt down to 1 cm above the red line (maximum burn) marking. Carefully remove the remainder of the Earcandle and extinguish it in the glass of water ready nearby. Treat both ears: It is generally advisable to treat both ears one after the other, each with a new Earcandle. Any condensation material that remains attached to the fine ear hairs should be removed. Subsequent rest: A subsequent rest of about 15 - 30 minutes will positively support the overall result. Enjoy soft relaxation music and/or the smell of aromatic essences during this phase as well. Storage: Please always store Earcandles in the airtight bag in a dry and cool place. Shop for Hopi Earcandles
