Hopi Ear Candling

Hopi Ear Candling

About the Hopi Ear Candling Certificate

Hopi ear candling also called ear candling, or ear coning is a tradition that started with the Ancient Greeks and carried out through the modern world with the name of Hopi, through a misunderstanding. It is well known by now that the candles are not attributed to the Hopi tribe. There is no invasive action to the body. The candle, which is in fact a conic hollow tube made of cotton, beeswax, honey and other ingredients, is placed in the outer ear and it stimulates the auditory canal through a light vacuum effect. This holistic therapy course covers not only healing techniques, but also anatomy and physiology notions of the head and ear, contraindications, pre and after care and other treatments that can be used alongside the ear candle therapy.

The time you should dedicate is intended to take up to 110 hours. However, this home course is designed to offer you a stress-free learning experience. There are no deadlines and no set time restrictions. You could study it in more or less time, if you wish.

Who should study this course?
