EAR
CONING
Ear Candling or Ear Coning although
centuries old, the ancient technique of ear candling or ear coning has seen
increasing interest in the past decade in the holistic community. Thought to
have originated with the Egyptians, it was used for spiritual cleansing as
well as physical cleaning. It was believed to open and clear the spirit
centers and refresh the auras.
Original style coning by the Egyptians utilized hollow reeds. Today, Ear
Candling or Ear Coning uses a hollow candle, much like a large straw.
Although they differ, most candles are made of 100% unbleached cotton
(muslin) fabric coated with purified paraffins and/or bees' wax. There are
also some specialty candles which contain herbs and oils.

Ear Candling or Ear Coning applies simple laws of
science. The flame of the candle (when the candle is properly seated in the
ear) creates a draw or vacuum which pulls the wax, fungus, candida, yeast,
and other particles of debris out of the ear and up into the bottom of the
candle. The vacuum is caused by the warmed air from the flame and the colder
existing air moving through the hollow chamber of the candle. The movement
and compression between the ear canal and the candle chamber generate air
flow with increasing velocity, thus producing the "sucking" vacuum.
As the particles are drawn from the ear and into the bottom of the candle,
the air flow becomes disrupted. This is why it is important to remove the
candle and "tap out" the contents.
Why candle? The purpose of candling is to remove wax buildup, especially the
heavy impacted wax that normal cleaning cannot remove. Candling is a more
comfortable and less expensive and safer to the alternative to the
traditional cleaning method of forcing water into the ear canal.
Ear Candling or Ear Coning is also believed to remove candida, yeasts,
fungus, and remnants of past infections. The Ear, Nose and Throat Journal of
U of U Medical lab reported that the types of bacteria we currently fight in
our ears include Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Anaerobic
bacteria, and Influenza A and B.
A lifetime of residues build up in the ear canal.
Ear Candling or Ear Coning can be done on persons of any age. I have often
had accounts of children, even babies, being candled with remarkable
results. Inner ear infection is one of the top reasons for hospital
admittance in children. Often candling has been used as a last effort for
treating chronic ear infections and to avoid ear tubal placement. As well as
treating the ear, candling can work on the sinus and lymph system, removing
impurities there as well.
Because of all the intricate crevices in the ear, unbelievable amounts of
debris can accumulate. This buildup creates a breeding ground for problems,
and can also interfere with correct hearing. Impacted wax can build up
against ear ducts and can also block reception of incoming sound waves. This
lifetime accumulation may explain some of the hearing problems we develop as
we age. It is reported that 20% of adults between 65-74 have hearing
problems.
Ear Candling or Ear Coning is not a replacement for proper health care,
however it is great alternative. In Europe Doctors are taught how to do Ear
Candling or Ear Coning. This is considered the very first step in treatment
in Ear Problems in Europe. Candling or Coning should not be done on a person
who has a perforated eardrum or similar problems.
For a session, please come in comfortable loose clothing. It usually takes 2
hours, to 2 and 1/2 hours for a correct Ear Candling or Ear Coning session
with me. It is best to protect the ears from wind, cold, and excessive
amounts of water. Within 24 hours the normal production of wax will again
protect the ear. Ear ailments will usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours.
