In ancient times the process was described as "coning". Cone shaped instruments made from pottery clay were used. Many cultures considered coning a spiritual practice for clearing the mind and senses. They claimed it cleared the mind and body so you could meditate and open up your sensitivity. In the present time, due to health regulations we have to use disposable candles. Candles are made from strips of unbleached cotton or linen dipped in paraffin and/or beeswax and herbs. In many cultures ear candling is the remedy of choice for ear infections, Candida, fungus growth, ear aches, etc. This process takes about an hour for $50.
