The making of the candles is a complex process and all genuine Hopi candles are made in the traditional manner.

The treatment is very gentle and relaxing and may take up to an hour, depending on the condition being treated.

The candle is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. It is only allowed to burn to within 4 inches of the end of the candle. As it burns it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air combined with the oil and herbs soften the wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed. The treatment is then repeated on the other ear
