Ear candling, also known as ear coning, has been around for centuries. A hollow beeswax cone is placed in the ear while the other end is lit on fire. The warm heat transfers down the cone into the ear, softening the built-up wax. A gentle vacuum is created by the cone, pulling wax and impurities out of the ear. Some benefits can include improved hearing, reduced pain from headaches and sinus pressure, help with vertigo and tinnitus, and improved lymphatic flow.
