Body candle


Body candling Step by Step:

  • Accessories: at least one body candle, a protective disc (including in the pack), a glass of water (for putting out candles), a bigger piece of textile made from non-synthetic fibres (e.g. a towel or sheet) to protect the part of the skin that will not be treated, matches or a lighter.
    .

  • The patient should lie down comfortably so that the assistant can easily have access to the area or body part that will be treated. Make sure that the patient is safe from the flame.

  • Place the protective disc between the base of the candle and the marker line. Light the upper, wider end of the candle away from the receiver.

  • Wait until the chimney effect is formed (maximum 30 seconds) and only the burning end of the candle smokes.

  • Then place the base end of the candle on the point that will be treated. The assistant always has to keep the candle in a vertical position.

  • When the candle has burnt down to 1 cm above the marker line, remove it from the body part and extinguish it carefully in the glass of water.

According to the theory of the Meridians, the physical symptoms and pain are caused by disorders in the flow of the vital energy. This flow of energy can be influenced by stimulation of the main meridian points (acupuncture/acupressure points). Through the light warm and vacuum effect and the vapours of the essential oils, the Naturhelix Body Candle helps to stimulate these points, it can ease the symptoms and contribute to the recovery. The efficiency of the treatment can be improved by giving a massage or by a light pressure of the point. All available points on our body can be treated by the body candle. The main acupuncture points can be easily found, in case of points treating special problems, or hard to treat please consult a naturopath.

The body candle can be suggested:
– in case of limb and joint problems,
