A traditional practice used for centuries, ear candling (also called coning) consists of placing a hollow cylinder coated with wax at the opening of the ear canal and lighting the other end to allow warm smoke to enter the ear.
Ear Candling is used for soothing the symptoms of ear problems. It can help relieve pain, discomfort and itching, and assist the ear in its natural removal of unwanted wax and debris (including remains of infections and environmental pollution) from the ear canal.
Modern ear candling uses disposable hollow candles made from strips of unbleached cotton or linen dipped in paraffin or beeswax. The spiral roll of these candles creates the same effect as the ancient pottery ear cones. Some candles are made with herbs or essential oils mixed into the wax, in a similar way as the ancients placed herbs in their ear cones for the beneficial effects of the smoke.
Those who use ear candles claim the warm, soothing smoke that the candle delivers to the ear canal helps dry out fluids in the ear canal, softens old hardened earwax, and stimulates the body's natural excretion of this wax and waste material (like dead cells, pollen, molds and parasites) bound to the earwax. They say the process is relaxing and often results in a sense of "clarity" after candling.
Many people who have never heard of ear candling often blow smoke into the ear to relieve symptoms of fever, flu, and even "swimmer's ear", where the smoke helps dry out fluids trapped in the ear canal. Though ear candlers originally thought the candle actually "drew out" earwax through suction, we now realize that very little if any of that residue in the candle comes from the ear. Most of the wax found in the candle probably is the result from burning the candle.
