History

Once an age-old remedy, the practice of ear coning is now making a resurgence in modern times. Ear coning or candling, a traditional therapy in India, China, Tibet, Egypt and Ancient Greece, was popularized by the Hopi Native American Tribe of the American South-West.  The modern incarnation of the treatment is primarily based on the form used by the Hopi (meaning “Peaceful People”).

Ear coning is used for aura and spiritual cleansing for purifying. They were used to cleanse and harmonize the different energy fields of the body. Equally they were also used in initiation rituals and healing ceremonies. The importance and use of ear candles is illustrated in numerous ancient wall paintings including those found within the caves of the Grand Canyon.

Native Americans use ear coning as a form of medicine.  A cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities and relieve pressure in the head and sinuses.

How it works

Fully dressed you lay on a warm crystal charka mat with your head supported on a pillow, so the auditory canal is vertical. Tachyon energy is incorporated to elevate you to zero-point energy. You will also receive a gentle trigger point ear massage to help facilitate the flow. Each session last about 40 minutes.

The process involves placing a hand-rolled 100% unbleached cotton and 100% beeswax. (See types of cones) The cone is placed just inside the ear canal, as far as is comfortable into the ear canal.

The candle is then lit, a gentle suction and vacuum draws the wax and impurities from the ear and produces a light suction action. This vacuum is caused by the warmed air from the flame and colder air moving through its hollow center. The movement and compression between the ear canal and the cone chamber generate air flow acting like a chimney. The burning action infuses the herbs and essential oils into a vapor, which is drawn into the auditory canal. This performs a massaging function as well as softening any impurities.

A fire crackling sound may be heard and possibly some gentle popping. The rising air gently massages the eardrum and helps to regulate ear pressure. A small amount of earwax is also removed during the treatment.
