History of Ear Candling / Coning
Documented by Marilyn Brought
Las Vegas, Nevada
In ancient times, the “cone process” was used in India, China, Tibet, Somalia, Egypt, Atlantis, Lemuria, as well as the Aztec and Mayan cultures. The North American Indian cultures also used this process of “ear coning”. The materials used were glazed clay or stone cones carved with a double helix to create a counter clockwise spiral energy vacuum action to the cone.
The Hopi, Cherokee and the Mexican Indians still use ear coning as a healthy modality.
The South Americans used rolled up newspapers in their process of ear coning. The Mexican Indians used waxed rolled up newspapers with a plug of incense.
In the art museums, drawings have been seen in caves in Europe that show the art of Coning.
Diaries have been translated from African slaves that explained the technique. They used hollow reeds, hollowed them out then packed with mud to prevent leakage.
Medical writings from China of early dynasties giving detail and medical responses to Ear Coning – they used silk and bee'swax.
Research into people between ages sixty to eighty can remember the process of ear coning, when they were young children with ear infections or earaches.
American Indian history of the Northeast tribes tells of the process of ear coning using corn husks and bees’ wax.
An 84-year-old woman in Canada who grew up in the Ukraine of Russia wrote to us explaining how her mother used ear coning on her when she was a child.
In Mexico City today, local healers are offering the service of ear coning to their communities.

What should I expect?
Ear candling is gentle, safe, and very relaxing for the recipient. Our sessions are approximately 60 minutes and include 1 pair of ear candles, gentle lymphatic massage on the face and ear area before the ears are candled. Facial reflexology is applied after both ears have been candled to assist in the detoxification process, assisting to flush away toxins and crystalline deposits on nerve endings on the face that are interconnected to other body systems and organs.
The client lies on their side and only one ear at a time is candled while routinely alternating lymphatic massage is applied to the face and ears to stimulate nerve endings. Once the candle has burned down to approximately 1.5 inches in length, the flame is distinguished, and the remainder of the candle is cut open to reveal what has been extracted from the ear canal.
The client turns onto their other side and the process is repeated for the other ear.

There has been a lot of controversy as to the residue left inside an ear cone. When looking at a new cone one could not see powder, however when it is lit it causes a chemical reaction forming powder which in turn absorbs any wax that would dribble down the inside of the cone. The cone can only work successfully if a perfect vacuum seal is created.. Do not be fooled by You-Tube were by they do not it in a vacuum situation. Far left is ear wax with powder residue; the cone never collected ear wax, but, burned clean. Middle cone collected ear wax as well as well as cone dribbles. First no earwax but, did collect dribbles. Looking through a otoscope we can see ear wax. last picture shows the amount of wax taken out. Never would we do ear candling on anyone that have clean ears or see any infections or problems with the tympanic ear drum.
