BioSun Hopi Ear Candles

The whole concept of ear candles was a new one for me. I used to walk quickly past my local Chinese medicine centre, with its strange photos of people with lighted candles in their ears, thinking that this was the strangest and most unnatural thing I had ever seen! My 14 year old son complained about constant ringing in his ears at the same time as I read a review of the Hopi ear candle - and I decided to give ear candling a go! For some reason I was a bit embarrassed when I went into my local Holland and Barrett to ask for the candles - but the reaction of the sales assistant took me by surprise. "Fantastic", she said - "very ...  Read the complete review

I found this whole procedure a little shall we say "odd" and perhaps "unbelievable". However I decided that as a friend was now qualified in the practice I would pay for the service. I am a sceptic when it comes to things like this and could not understand how burning a candle held into my ear hole would remove the wax and leave me feeling better.

It also gives him a lot of pain if he leaves it to get too bad. He has been using Otex ear drops about every six weeks to clear the accumulated wax, a process which usually takes a few days of treatment before the ears are finally clear and the pain disappears.

Dave said that he would like to try them as it would mean that he could clear his ears ...  Read the complete review

I have always suffered on and off for the past couple of years with sinus problems. A few months ago I was recommended Hopi ear candles by my holistic therapist as a holistic approach and alternative to syringing. I went and bought some from the Chinese medicine shop in town and was a little shocked at the price at first.

They act as a chimney sucking up the loosened wax, the vibration and heat ...  Read the complete review
