Bloom Apothecary Brave Spray Remedy

If You think that You can, You can!

Extra strength. Courage, Confidence, Belief. Inner power. Be brave!

When things don't go the way we planned, it's easy to lose confidence and even give up hope. This formula helps one have patience and gain a healthier perspective. But it doesn't always work the way you might expect: When people lose hope it's always because of grief or deep disappointment. In the healing process those feelings will tend to rise to the surface—you might feel like crying—and if you don't expect that you might feel like this formula isn't working. But that's sometimes an essential part of the process. Go with the "flow"! :-) It works great! After the grief moves on through a feeling of renewed faith and optimism returns. For many of us that feels like peace.

Essential Oils: Rose, Lavender, Bergamot and Cinnamon
For healing and soothing the heart, raising the spirit and relieving depression and anxiety, and increasing feelings of comfort and warmth.

Flower Essences: Impatiens, Larch and Zinnia
For alleviating discouragement and increasing patience, and for the ability to relax in regards to Divine Timing, for increased self-confidence, humor and goodwill.

Vegan-friendly.

Bloom Apothecary Hopi - Azteca Ear Candles


How Hopi Ear Candles work

The ear candling treatment is a relaxing one and the patient need only concern themself with lying fairly still in a comfortable position whilst the hopi ear candle is gently inserted into their ear.

our brand of hopi ear candles

When lit, the ear candles have a slight sucking action often referred to as the chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. The rising air inside the ear sets up a vibration which gently massages the eardrum. This can help to regulate the pressures involved inside the ear.

The flow of air within the ear candle creates a circulation of concentrated vapour. This is soothing, calming and protects the irritated areas. Most impurities or deposits are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the lower section of the candle after removal from the ear, or some wax could even work its way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.

From an esoteric point of view, the cleansing fire carries away negative vibrations from the fine metabolic energy fields and harmonises the energy status.

What Hopi Ear Candles are used for

Though results may vary from patient to patient, some of our practitioners and clients have reported to us that hopi ear candles can be helpful with:

  • Cleaning out excessive or compacted wax in the ears (see Testimonials)
  • Cleaning out yeast build up and dispelling fluid build up
  • Promoting lymphatic circulation
  • Improving immune system
  • Eliminating backed up mucus
  • Alleviating allergic conditions
  • Discouraging candidia
  • Diminishing chronic sinusitis
  • Enhancing hearing, or even taste and smell
  • Relieving ear pain
  • Restoring equilibrium or pressure in the ear (eg for frequent flying, sports such as diving, etc)
  • Stimulating of local and reflex energy flow
  • Noises in the ears, ringing, tinnitus

Remember, if in doubt, always contact your GP.

How Hopi Ear Candles are used

You are usually asked to lie comfortably and to relax. The hopi ear candle is then gently placed into the auditory canal, where it is lit and held in a vertical position. The therapists hands keep the candle steady. You will then experience a pleasant crackling sound and a warm comfortable feeling as the candle burns. The candle is allowed to burn down until it reaches a specific marker indicated on its side and then it is taken away while you lie there for a few moments.

The process is then repeated on the other ear.

Hopi ear candles

Hopi Ear Candles (often shortened to Ear Candles) are hollow tubes traditionally made from organically grown flax, extracts of honey, beeswax and herbs. These candles provide a non-invasive treatment of the ears which are used to treat a variety of conditions in a practice often known as Thermal Auricular Therapy.

Ear candles are used widely throughout Europe, America and Asia by GP's and hospitals to treat a variety of ear, nose and throat conditions. As the hopi ear candle treatment is a non-invasive, relaxing and soothing experience, the popularity of earcandling continues to increase and is a frequent topic of health related radio and magazine articles.

The use of ear candles is thought to be thousands of years old and was seen in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, though it is the native American Hopi Indian tribe that had the most recent influence on modern Europe and helped term the phrase hopi ear candle

********

Hop ear candles are named after the Native American tribe who first introduced this gentle therapy to the West.

The Hopi nation is renowned for their extensive knowledge of healing and their spiritual lifestyle. The translation of the word Hopi means "peaceful ones".

Ear candles are used widely throughout North America and Asia and although the current treatment has come to us from the Hopi tribe, the use of ear candles to treat ear problems has been known for centuries, having been used by the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks.

********

A Brief Old 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.

********

What is a Hopi Ear Candle?

Ear candles are an ancient, mild and natural therapy and have been used by the Native American Indian for many years.

The Hopi candle is not a candle as such, but a hollow tube made out of cotton flax. To stiffen the flax, they are impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils (in particular chamomile, sage and St Johns wort), the healing properties of which have been known to the Hopi tribe for hundreds of years. The making of the candles is a complex process and all genuine Hopi candles are made in the traditional manner.

********

The Treatment

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 and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged. The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.

********

What Conditions Can Ear Candles Help?

Ear candles can help with the treatment of sinusitis, rhinitis, earwax, earache and irritation of the ears including tinnitus. It is also suitable for the treatment of headaches and migraines. It is not suitable for those with perforated eardrums, where grommets are in place or those who may have an allergy to the ingredients. It is a safe and gentle treatment for children.

The number of treatments depends on how long the candle takes to burn down. Each treatment takes approximately 45 - 60 minutes and is very relaxing. It is advisable to put a few drops of warm olive oil in each ear for three days before treatment as this will help to soften the wax which will make it easier to remove. On the day of the treatment, you will be advised to remove all makeup and ear rings.

Ear Symptoms and Treatment with Hopi Ear Candles.

Our Hopi Ear Candles have been reported to us by some of our satisfied clients as being effective at treating a number of conditions that are associated with the Ear, Nose and Throat. These are listed for your information below.

Overview - Ears, Nose and Throat
Although the ears may appear to be isolated structures, they are directly linked to the nose and throat. The visible part of the ear, the pinna, is connected to the ear canal, which ends at the eardrum. Beyond this membrane lies the middle ear, an air filled space connected to the back of the nasal cavity and to the throat by a channel called the Eustachian tube. This tube ensures that the air pressure is the same on both sides of the eardrum.

Our ears provide us with two vital but very different senses: hearing and balance. Sound detected by the ears provides essential info about our external surroundings and allows us to communicate in highly sophisticated ways, such as through speech and music. In addition our ears contribute to our sense of balance, the largely unconscious understanding of the body’s orientation in space that allows us to maintain an upright posture and move without falling over. Ear problems and infections can upset this delicate balance.

Colds
Colds can occur at any time of the year, although infections are more frequent in the autumn and winter. About ½ of the population of Europe and the United States of America develops at least one cold each year.

The initial symptoms of a cold usually develop between 12 hours and 3 days after infection. Symptoms include:

  • frequent sneezing
  • runny nose
  • sore throat
  • coughs.

Bacterial ear infections are a common complication of colds.

Hopi Care : We recommend, whilst suffering from a cold, Hopi ear candles can be used up to 1 - 2 times per day for 5 - 7 days then less often in the second week if symptoms persist. Whilst these treatments will not cure a cold, they may help to clear congestion and ease discomfort.

Sinusitis
The sinuses are air filled cavities around the nose and eyes. Within the lining of the sinuses are many mucus-secreting glands. Mucus passes continuously through narrow channels that lead from the sinuses to the back of the nose.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of any of the sinuses. Sinusitis may be acute (developing and clearing up rapidly) or chronic (long term).

The most common cause of sinusitis is a viral infection such as the common cold. If the channels connecting the nose to the sinuses becomes blocked due to the viral infection, mucus collects in the sinuses.

Symptoms depend on which sinuses are affected and may include headache, pain and tenderness in the face that tends to worsen when bending down.

If symptoms do not improve within 3 days you should consult your doctor.

Hopi Care : In the first few days of acute sinusitis we recommend daily treatment. Monthly treatments may then help to prevent the severity and frequency of attacks. Chronic sinusitis will probably require weekly treatment for the first month then 1 - 2 times per month for a further 2-3 months.


Wax Blockage
Blockage of the ear canal by earwax often causes a feeling of fullness and irritation in the ear.

Earwax, produced by glands in the ear canal, cleans and moistens the canal. Usually wax is produced in small quantities and emerges naturally from the ear. However, if the canal becomes blocked with wax, it causes a feeling of fullness and discomfort and sometimes hearing loss.

Hopi Care : To help clear wax blockage one treatment may be sufficient, however 2 - 3 may be needed dependent upon extent of build up. Regular treatments every 6-8 weeks may help to relieve and prevent excess build up.

Chronic secretary otitis media
This is a persistent collection of fluid in the middle ear common in children under 8 years old. Sometimes referred to as ‘glue ear’ the middle ear becomes filled with a thick, sticky, glue-like fluid. It is the most common cause of impaired hearing in children under the age of 8.

The middle ear is normally ventilated by the Eustachian tube. However, if this tube becomes blocked, possibly as a result of infection, the middle ear may fill with fluid. Often the blockage persists, causing chronic (long term) secretary otitis media.

The symptoms may develop gradually and may initially go unnoticed. The symptoms tend to fluctuate and tend to be worse in the winter months. They may include: partial deafness, immature speech for the child’s age, ear infections.

If symptoms persist for several months grommets will probably be inserted under general anesthetic to allow air to circulate around the middle ear.

Hopi Care : An initial treatment of once per week for 1 month may be sufficient. Regular monthly treatments thereafter may be beneficial.

Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is the inflammation of the membrane lining the nose and throat due to an allergic reaction. It affects people who experience an allergic reaction after they inhale specific allergens.
Allergic rhinitis may occur only in the spring and summer, in which case it is known as seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever, or it may be perennial and occur all year round.
The symptoms of Allergic rhinitis can include:

  • Itchy sensation in the nose
  • Frequent sneezing
  • Blocked, runny nose
  • Itchy, red, watery eyes


Allergic rhinitis is more common in people who also have other allergic conditions such as asthma. Dependent upon the severity of the condition 2-3 Hopi ear candle treatments may be needed in the first week then 1-2 times in the next 2-3 weeks.

Hopi Care : A monthly treatment may help to reduce the frequency or severity of attacks.

Tension headaches
Moderate or severe pain affecting one or more areas around the head, often as a result of stress.

Hopi Care : The pressure relief and relaxation brought about by a Hopi ear candle treatment can really help this condition. The frequency of treatment will depend upon the severity of the condition.

Tinnitus
This is sounds heard in one or both ears in the absence of any external noise. People with Tinnitus hear sounds that originate within the ear itself. These sounds may include ringing, buzzing or whistling.

Hopi Care : Hopi ear candle treatment can help to reduce the symptoms of Tinnitus by aiding relaxation, however there is no known cure for Tinnitus and whilst some sufferers may find Hopi beneficial, others may not.


Please note: We recommend that a qualified and insured practitioner should be consulted for treatment with any type of Hopi candle. These candles are not a medication and no responsibility is accepted for improper or inaccurate use. If in doubt, consult your General Medical Practitioner.

Bloom Apothecary Monoi Tiare di Tahiti – Miracle Oil Remedy


Regenerative care for the body and the soul

As legacy, the Mahoi tradition gave us a precious sacred oil: Monoi de Tahiti, the prodigious combination of fresh Tiare flowers and refined Coprah oil. Monoi de Tahiti is much more than a skin and hair preparation. It has also the power to stimulate the senses and feed the imagination. The product of a luxuriant nature, it is the inspiration for a new art of personal care.


Heavenly ingredients: Based on two unique ingredients, Monoi de Tahiti reveals the purifying and soothing virtues of Tiare Tahiti (Gardenia taitensis) in the silky caress of refined Polynesian Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera).


The secret of Bloom Apothecary Monoi Tiare di Tahiti – Miracle Oil Remedy lies in the delicate 100% natural vegetal blend that is extracted from the rich Tahitian Tumu (Cocos Nucifera) palm tree and from the local "Tiari" (Gardenia Tahitensis) flowers in Tahiti. The scent is a lovely soft aroma that everyone loves. This oil is great for dry skin, dry, damaged hair and super for a mature face skin oil.

Monoi de Tahiti originates from the beautiful coral atolls of the south Pacific ocean. It is made in the traditional way by soaking Gardenia Taitensis blossoms (Tiare flowers) in rich purified coconut oil.

A combination of the coconut oil's natural and anti fungal abilities and the natural antiseptic properties of the gardenia oil ( rich in methyl salicylate) ensures a significant protection of the epidermis against mycosis and dermatitis.

Monoi is an ancient Tahitian word meaning 'scented oil'. Many 'Vahines' the beautiful women of Tahiti, use Monoi de Tahiti daily to hydrate and protect their skin and to condition their hair.

Use after shower, bath or swim and as a pre shampoo. Add a few drops to hot bath for relaxation and to keep skin hydrated.

§ Monoi de Tahiti plays a central role in the Tahitian tradition is found in many beauty and well being rituals. Today it inspires active and sensorial formulas, products developing an original approach of holistic care.

Babassu - (Orbignya Oleifera - Brazil) The Babassu tree is a palm tree approximately 20 metres high, which is native to the southeastern region of the Amazon jungle in Brazil. Babassu is a light, yellow, non-drying oil obtained from the kernels of the babassu palm. It has a high content of lauric and myristic acids, which have melting points relatively close to body temperature. This means that, when applied, babassu melts into the skin. This transfer of heat produces a cooling effect on the skin. Babassu forms a protective, soothing coat when applied and a pleasant, velvety feel. Babassu is a superior emollient beneficial for both dry and oily complexions, gently moisturising the skin without contributing to an oily sheen. This oil has properties similar to coconut oil and is used in much the same way for both food and cosmetic purposes.

The product is a refinement of an ancient Polynesian beauty secret and has been manufactured commercially since 1942.

The coconut oil used in Monoi Tiare Tahiti is so highly refined that it is quickly absorbed by your skin. This Tahitian beauty secret is now available to you.

Please note that because of its tropically grown ingredients, Monoi oil solidifies at temperatures below 68 F (20 C). This is a natural process that occurs because genuine Monoi contains no emulsifiers to keep it in a liquid state. Simply place the container in warm water to return it to a golden liquid form. Solidifying and warming will not affect the original properties of Monoi.
