Ear Coning - What's That??

This ancient process is also called ear cleansing with herbs, ear candling, auricular candling or cleansing. The cone process was used by many ancient cultures. Glazed clay or stone cones were used with a double helix carved inside to create a spiral energy flow carrying herbs or incense into the ear canal, which is a spiral itself. This created a counter clockwise spiral energy by the vacuum action of the cone.

The best cones today are made of strips of unbleached 100% cotton dipped into a mixture of beeswax and herbs in the form of extracts, oils, or essences.

When coning, the cone is lit on the wide end, gently placed in the ear and burned to create smoke containing spiral energy into the ear canal. German medical students are taught Ear Candling as a remedy.

How coning works: The wide end of the cone is lit, smoke comes out the narrow end of the cone and it is gently placed in the ear. Smoke goes into the ear. Picture a chimney with its’ fire and oxygen dynamics. A draw is created for a reverse osmotic pressure and equalizing Eustachian tube pressure. Candling is very soothing, relaxing and non-invasive. At no point does the tip of the cone in the ear get hot to the touch. Heat is not a factor. The spiral of the cone and the smoke are the active ingredients.

The Eustachian tube is part of the middle ear and connects the middle ear to the throat. It manages the pressure in and drains mucus from the middle ear. Upper airway infections or allergies can cause the Eustachian tube to become swollen, trapping bacteria and causing ear infections. Sinus infections can be caused by swollen Eustachian tubes or can impact the Eustachian tubes. Earaches are more common in children because the tube is more horizontal and thinner, making the movement of fluid harder. By equalizing the Eustachian tube mucus, infectious materials and sinus problems can drain clearing the situation.

Frequency: Coning is a healing process. I suggest 3 conings, 3 - 7 days apart, allowing the process to complete a cycle of clearing accumulated debris. Normal earwax replenishes itself within 24 hours. Thereafter the ear can be coned every 6-months.

Physically: This is also a cleansing process. You may feel increased pressure in the ears, fluid in the ears, movement or inflammation of the lymphatic system. The body is clearing. Cranial fluids are being realigned. You may feel improvements in sight, color perception and balance. This is due to subtle changes in energy flow. (If the pressure reaches a point of distracting discomfort, a follow-up coning should be done as soon as possible, as a strong movement has begun which needs completion.) Drink lots of water.

Metaphysically: Coning works directly on the chakra system. Negativity can be dislodged. The nerve endings are connected by streams of the subtle energy flow which carry our life force energy. If hearing is impaired or blocked, we are disconnected from that energy. Ear coning acts as a catalyst to clear out debris accumulated on nerve endings. This allows for clear vibrational flow to the corresponding area of the mind, body and spirit. This clears the way for other methods of healing.
