Discover the soothing, holistic benefits of Hopi Ear Candling in this comprehensive self-guided course. Rooted in ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Greek practices, Hopi ear candling, also known as ear coning or thermo-auricular therapy, is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses hollow, lighted candles applied to the ears to promote relaxation and well-being. While it does not remove earwax directly, it helps to soften blocked wax, supporting the body's natural expulsion process.
In this course, you will learn not only the traditional technique of Hopi ear candling but also how to integrate a calming facial procedure to enhance lymphatic drainage, reduce puffiness, and promote a sense of deep relaxation.
