History
Minimize 

The magic of fire has fascinated people from the very beginning of time and control of this element gave light and warmth. Ear candles 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 Ear candles 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.

What happens in an Ear Candling session?
Minimize 

Laying on your side a candle is gently inserted in the ear and is held in place for the duration of the treatment by the practitioner. Burn time is around 12 minutes per candle. The chimney effect of the candle causes vibration which gently massages the ear drum. The ingredients impregnated in the cotton vaporise collecting and removing impurities and deposits and are collected in the filter. Both ears must be treated. The treatment is a gentle and natural alternative to ear syringing. A soothing facial massage is performed afterwards, draining the sinuses, reinforcing lymph action and blood flow. Total treatment time is approximately 45 minutes.
