A Brief History of Hopi Ear Candles

The history of hopi ear candles is a long one. Ear candles are an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations. They were used as far afield as Asia, the Siberian prairies, and most notably native America.

It is believed that the Ancient Greeks used ear candles, initially probably for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual basis, but much later on a purely physical basis. However, the practice reached the modern world via the native North American Hopi Indians.

Ear candles were used traditionally by Shamen healers. Ancient wall paintings (such as those found within the caves of the Grand Canyon) show the importance of earcandling in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies of the tribe.

Our candles are still hand made today on the basis of the old traditional methods originating from the Hopi Indians, using the finest organic ingredients. Whilst our candles do not make use of the herbs and extracts that were part of the makeup of the original Hopi candles, they do use the finest beeswax and linen. We believe that quality is paramount and feel that this is clearly evident in our Hopi Ear Candles. They are a genuinely natural product and, as our customers continue to tell us, are comfortable, gentle and effective.
