How Did It All Begin?

Since ancient times, many cultures, including the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks, have used the traditional natural therapy of ear candling on a spiritual level to purify and cleanse the aura. However, Hopi Ear Candling techniques, as we know them today, are believed to originate from the Native American Hopi Indians of Northern Arizona. Interestingly, Hopi means ‘peaceful people’, and this gentle and soothing therapy is well known for its calming and relaxing effects. Ear candles are now widely used throughout the modern world for helping specific conditions and to calm stressed minds.
