Origin of Ear Cones
The history of Ear Cones began in ancient Egypt and spread through out the Orient and then into Europe. There is evidence that Native Americans used this same process in their healing ceremonies. Ear Candling has been used since Biblical times and has been around for centuries.

Who Uses This Procedure?
Anyone from Adults to Children can benefit from this safe procedure. Ear Cones have historically been used by people who may suffer from an over production of ear wax, itchy or achy ears, hearing loss, sinus infection, ear infection, nasal congestion, swimmers ear, or Migraines. Many parents have reported that through the use of ear cones on their children, surgical procedures or tubes in the ears, have been avoided.

How Does it Feel?
It feels great! Many of my clients that I see in my practice, often fall asleep during this process. It is a very relaxing procedure with great health benefits. The "sounds" heard during the ear candling, resemble the sounds of waves at the ocean or listening to a sea shell.

You Will Need
Ear Cones, small container of water, Q-tips, scissors, lighter or matches, towel, and Paper Plate.

Person Being Coned
Lie down on your side on couch or bed and get comfortable. Place towel around person's head leaving ear exposed. Make sure all hair is hidden under towel. Using scissors, make a small hole in center of paper plate, just large enough for candle to fit through and the fit of candle in hole should be slightly snug. The small end of cone is placed in ear, with a slight twisting action, to fit snugly in canal. (Person being coned may place the cone or adjust it, to their comfort.) Person being coned should be instructed not to move or get up unless the cone is first removed. Now you are ready to Light the large end of the cone. This action creates a natural vacuum that removes all debris. We've seen seeds, feathers, and all sorts of things come out of clients ears. If you should see smoke coming out from around the ear, gently twist/reposition ear cone for a better seal until smoke in not seen anymore. Ear Cone is then burnt down to about 4 inches above ear opening. Ear cone should be removed first and then extinguished in container of water; (or you may use a VERY wet, old rag.) After cone has been thoroughly extinguished, you may open it by cutting cone straight up with scissors or I usually "Peel" it open with my hands. You will be amazed at what comes out! Have person roll over and repeat process on other ear. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly. Your client may now sit up and have them tilt their head to each side as you gently swab out both ears to remove remaining debris.

Additional Tips
I usually use two cones per ear - one at a time - especially if it is the clients first time or if there is a severe problem that exists. The first cone pulls out a lot, but often, the second cone pulls out more and completes the "cleanup" work. When you open the second cone you will see what I'm talking about!

• Using your favorite aroma therapy diffuser, burn some Eucalyptus or Tea Tree Oil while the ear candling is in process to clean your air of germs that may be emitted during candling. Open doors or windows to allow fresh air to circulate.
• Never store your ear candles in a hot place. Keep at room temperature or you may store in refrigerator.
• Never use Paraffin Cones - We do not recommend them as paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum.
• Always candle both ears, even if you are having trouble with only one ear. Often the other ear over compensates for the problem ear. It would be like washing only one of your hands and not the other.

You will be amazed at what comes out of the "good" ear!

How Often Should I Cone?
The time frames will be different for each person. Those who have severe problems may use cones once a week, until symptoms improve. Following this, one may want to use the ear cones once a month. For general maintenance, once every 4 months is a good guideline. I know one winter, I candled my child once every month, to eliminate sinus and cold problems.

How Long Does It Take?
Each cone takes approximately 15 minutes or less to burn.

Warnings
This procedure is not recommended for people who have had recent ear, nose, throat, or sinus surgery of any kind. A complete healing must be exacted before this procedure would be recommended. Also, not recommended for individuals with tubes in their ears. Do not get any water in ear for 24 hours after candling and avoid cold wind entering ears after candling. Protect with cotton balls.
