Ear Candling, also called ear coning or thermal-auricular therapy, is an ancient practice designed to clear the ears and ear canals. Long hollow candles are inserted in the ears and lit. Warm, dry, powdery smoke combined with the spiraling action of the long candles draw out excess fluids, ear and toxic debris such yeast, candida and infections from the ears and ear canals.
This process was used in China, India, Tibet, Egypt, the Mayan, Aztec and American Indian Cultures. History dates it back to Atlantis and Lemuria. Cleansing cones or candles are an ancient, universal form of therapy used by nations all around the globe. Some form of wax or some burnable substance was used as the carrier in the cones. Some Indian tribes simply blow herbal smoke down into the ear canal through a cone shaped object, many times it was wrapped up newspaper.

Many cultures considered coning a spiritual practice for clearing the mind and senses. They claimed it cleared the mind and body so you could meditate and open up your sensitivity.
In current times many cultures such as the South American Mexican Indians and some American Indian tribes are using ear coning. Materials vary from pottery cones to rolled up newspaper soaked in wax.
In the present time, due to health regulations we have to use disposable candles. Cones or candles are made from strips of unbleached cotton or linen dipped in paraffin and/or beeswax and herbs. The spiral roll built into the candles during production creates the same effect as the pottery cones. In some cultures they have mixed herbs into the wax or placed herbs in the cone during the burning process.
Today ear candling is done almost all over the word, including Australia, USA, Japan, Taiwan, Europe (German medical students are taught candling as a part of their medical practice). Many people consider ear candling as necessary a part of personal hygiene is tooth brushing.
