The art of ear coning dates back for centuries, to the ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Tibetan, Aztec, Mayan and American Indian cultures. It is now being practiced by our western culture. The cone works by setting the large end on fire, then placing the small end of the cone to the mouth of one ear canal, which creates a seal. Vapors of smoke with herbs travel into the ear, warming up the pores in the canal, softening wax. The fire creates a vacuum effect which pulls infection, debris, and ear wax into the cone. This process is very relaxing and painless. It can help reduce or eliminate ear infections, ear pressure, headaches, allergies and much more!
