Ear Coning

This is a gentle spiral of herb smoke that clears out debris accumulated on nerve endings increasing energy flow for revitalization in other methods of healing. It is also considered another form of physical and mental cleansing.

Hollow candles are used to clean the ears and are believed to help with various ear disorders. Using candles is generally more comfortable and less expensive than conventional ear cleaning where water is forced into the ear canal. Hollow candles sometimes called ear candles, are considered a folk medicine. The practice of using candling is actually an ancient art from many countries such as China, Czechoslovakia, Mexico and Italy. Many doctors are using or recommending candling. They are being used in nursing homes, alternative health care centers, and are rapidly gaining popularity.

When using candles, the small end of the cone is put in the ear and the other end is lit. As the cone burns, the smoke travels into the ear canal warming the ear wax and creating a gentle vacuum. This can dislodge the wax or foreign debris and pull it into the candle. Many report this as being a rather pleasant sensation. Most often an improvement in hearing is reported after candling. Ears should not get water in them or be exposed to very loud noises for 24 hours after treatment.
