This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations.

This intense but enlightening workshop covers: The history of Hopi ear candles; how the ear candles work; anatomy of the ear; mechanism of hearing/how to clean ears; diseases and disorders of the ear; contraindications for ear candling; benefits and effects; equipment and materials; treatment procedure; home care and aftercare; facial massage procedure; consultation procedure and ways to promote the treatment.
