Thermo-auricular therapy (or Hopi ear candling) is a centuries old method of enhancing a person’s state of health and was used by many civilizations, including the ancient Greeks. 

The native American Hopi Indians of North East Arizona were believed to use the candles as a spiritual cleansing treatment before meditation or entering a trance state.
