What is Ear Coning or Ear Candling?
Ear Candling, also known as coning is when a cone-shaped candle is placed in the ear canal and the top end is ignited. Ear Coning is a therapy that has been used since ancient times. The cone is made up of cotton dipped in wax and is hollow on the inside. When the cone is ignited, it creates an upward vacuum that will suction up wax, skin and other substances from the external ear canal into the lower portion of the candle. People have experienced relief from such conditions as sinus pressure, ear aches, allergies and “Swimmer’s Ear.
