This procedure has been known for centuries, and was used by Egyptians and Native Americans.

Coning or candling, as it is also called, involves the use of a hollow candle with a taped end. The tapered end of the candle is placed at the edge of the ear and the opposite, larger end is lit with a match. The flame creates a vacuum in the ear, which draws out excess wax, fungus, bacteria, and yeast deposits from the ear. It may also draw out excess fluid from the ear, sinus and lymph glands. Additionally, this technique is known to release blockages in the subtle energy centers near the upper chest, neck, jaw, and head.

The ear is a ‘royal road ’ not only for speech but also for all the processes of man’s adaptation to self and environment.

EAR CONING Treatment

During the treatment you are lying comfortably, on a massage table or futon. Gentle, relaxing music is played during your treatment.

A total of four cones are generally used, two for each ear.

When the coning is completed, you might notice your hearing improves or your head feels lighter, especially if a blockage of wax has moved inside your ear.

Your ears could feel airy and more sensitive to subtle sounds and tones. You may experience a sense of wellness, well-being, and relaxation.

Though ear candling may not be the answer to all ear, sinus, or throat problems, people have used it to relieve symptoms of itching, congestion and discomfort associated with eye, ear, nose, and throat ailments. With a long tradition around the world, ear coning will continue its popularity to help people in a natural and effective way.
