Hopi Ear Candling Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
This comprehensive Hopi Ear Candling course gives a thorough introduction, insight and instruction into all the areas required to become a Practitioner. The course is open to both practicing holistic therapists and practitioners and anyone else who has a desire to learn this skill. No previous knowledge is required.
The course covers the history, techniques and applications that go to make up the Ear Candling process, plus a guide to setting up a specialist practice. Hopi Ear Candling, or Thermo-auricular Therapy, is an ancient and completely natural therapy which has been handed down to us through many civilisations, including the Greeks, Aztecs and Egyptians. However, it is from the Native American Hopi people that it has come to the Western world and into modern Complementary/Holistic Therapies.
This subject is complemented by our Anatomy and Physiology Course.

How Hopi Ear Candling Works
This now popular therapy was probably used in ancient times for cleansing, purifying and healing on a spiritual level, but today it is known for its more physical benefits in treating ear and sinus problems. The practice is safe, non-invasive and pleasant. The candle itself is made from natural ingredients – usually beeswax and natural herbs. Sometimes pure essential oils are added to achieve specific therapeutic results. The procedure is comfortable and soothing. Recipients of the treatment sometimes fall asleep, and it has a relaxing, calming effect on the whole body.
The candles work on a ‘chimney’ principle, drawing up impurities from within the ear. The rising air also has the effect of giving the eardrum a gentle massage, which, in turn, helps to regulate pressure. Locally applied heat also has the effect of stimulating blood circulation, which can strengthen the immune system and enhance lymph circulation. The treatment is completed with a gentle massage, which helps to stimulate the acupoints and drain the sinuses.
The Benefits of Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi Ear Candles are ideal for all ages and especially beneficial for children and elderly people. Use can bring relief from the discomfort associated with ear wax build up, sinus congestion, pressure in the ears, headaches and much, much more!! Many people from all walks of life are discovering the benefits of using Hopi Ear Candles for a wide range of conditions associated with the ear, nose and throat. Now you can learn how to do this for others, safely and effectively.

Which distance learning study method should you choose?
Self Study: The self-study option is a faster method of study for those who feel they may not need that support. The Self Study team review each part of your course, rather than lesson by lesson, and the team will assess your work and inform you if you are making serious errors. You will not receive feedback on your work, and you may be asked to repeat an answer paper which does not reach our threshold of acceptance.
Tutored: The tutor option is for students who would like feedback on their work and who may require more support in their studies. Our dedicated Tutor Team will review your work lesson by lesson and give you feedback, where required. You can ask questions, and the team can guide you to success by helping you navigate the course material.
