The Science End Of It
Located in your ear canel is
the Cerumen glands.  These
glands exist only in your ears
and produce Ear Wax or Cerumen
  These glands just continuosly keep
producing cerumen whether you
need it or not.
  Now understand that cerumen
does have a purpose. The purpose
of the ear wax is to prevent foreign
matter from entering the ear-
  Dirt, Dust, Bugs, Germs- Bacteria ,
and Water are all things that SHOULD NOT be in your ears.
  Under ideal circumstances, the body expels wax on it's own.  However "What's Ideal?" How you eat and drink  and intake substance into your body affects what your ear wax looks like. Crazy huh?
No Joke- A body that is deficient in water intake will have dry wax. The more toxins and impurities that are in the Cerumen-the darker orange it will be.
  I feel the need to mention Q-tips.  Everytime you insert Q-tips into your ear you only push the Ceumen in deeper!  In many cases it becomes impacted.
  When the wide end of the candle is lit the first thing that happens is smoke comes out the bottom. Do Not Be Alarmed!  This is supposed to happen. Once you have smoke coming from the small end it is ready to be inserted into the ear canal.  Proper fit is important and you may have to trim the candle.  Once it is snugly down in the ear the flame starts to look for an oxygen source.  This creates the vacuum and allows the excess wax to be drawn from the ear canal.  The client should hear Snap Crackle Pop in their ears.

  Traditionally Ear Coning (candling) has been used to clear earaches, dizziness and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). It is said to be a powerful auric cleanser, which makes other bodywork more effective. One way or another Ear Coning is certainly an effective De-tox!

Ear Coning is used to stimulate the respiratory system

It helps  clear the sinuses, and related allergy problems
It helps drain  and stimulate lymphatic glands
It clears off the  nerve endings in the ear canal
It cleans the Eustachian tube  of wax and debris

A wonderful side effect is deep relaxation…it stimulates the anti stress acupuncture point in the auditory canal.  Coning will also help the body to eliminate excess Cerumen.

However looking on the internet only provides many negative viewpoints on the procedure.  The reason? Simple enough …The medical industry does not want people to prevent their illnesses. They want us to pay them to cure them !  Ah Ha!
