EAR CANDLES FOR EAR HYGIENE
The OTOSAN cone for the ear care is the rediscovery of an ancient tradition for the treatment and prevention of the ear. Made of natural waxed cloth, it contributes to remove the wax-plug from the ear while re-balancing the ear pressure, and it prevents the unpleasant feeling of "blocked ears". It can safely be used at home by all those looking for a healthy life and for light and natural treatment methods.
EARWAX
It is a mixture of substances produced by the ceruminous glands of the ear duct to defend it against foreign matters (dust, insects, etc.). Nature, in fact, has foreseen that the epidermic layers of the ear move outwards from halfway along the eardrum membrane. During their motion, they mix with particular fats produced in the glands and so leave the ear in the form of earwax. When this "self-cleaning system" of the ear no longer works perfectly, a plug of earwax may form which, if not removed, can cause problems, irritation and even blocking of the ear duct. It can be the cause of reduced hearing, itchiness, whistling, buzzing, and also of momentary loss of balance.
PREVENTIVE HYGIENE
According to a survey carried out in more than three hundred doctor's surgeries, it emerged that many people try to eliminate the "wax-plugs" with excessive cleaning or using violent methods, cleaning the ear duct with rubber syringes, chemical-based sprays, manually or with cotton buds. These methods may be dangerous, as the wax may be pressed further into the ear duct, blocking it completely and risking damage to the extremely sensitive membrane of the eardrum. This could open the way to the middle ear for bacteria which can cause serious infections.
EAR CANDLES AS A NATURAL REMEDY
As well as from waxed cloth, the ear care cone was made from rolled tobacco or corn leaves in the past. The ear-cone was widespread in Italy, especially in the rural areas of Romagna, Veneto and Sicily. More and more people are becoming aware that the quality of life is based on the relationship among the well-being of the body, the soul and the surrounding environment. This is why the OTOSAN ear cone is appreciated by many people from different cultures and backgrounds in various parts of the world.
HOW EAR CANDLES WORKS
After placing the tapered end of the cone into the ear, the wide end is set alight. As it burns, the cone causes two effects:
1. HEAT
The heat, which is beneficially released towards the inside of the ear, reinforces the blood circulation and helps soften the wax.
2. SUCTION
The warm air, which rises, creates a depression and consequent suction ("chimney effect") at the base of the cone. This helps eliminate waste and deposits from the ear canal. It also liberates close pores, regenerates the breathing of the skin, and helps regain the correct tension of the eardrum following holidays in the mountains, flights, swimming and diving which can cause that "blocked ear" feeling.
EAR CANDLES SAFETYNESS
The OTOSAN cone, besides the PROTECTIVE DISC, has a FLAME-BREAKING RING, which automatically extinguishes the flame at the end of the treatment and makes it easier, safer and more practical to use.
If you intend living your health and your psycho-physical equilibrium naturally, in harmony with environment and with nature, we advise you to use the OTOSAN cones at least once a month as preventive hygiene practice.

HISTORY Ear candling is an ancient therapy dating back 2500 years with historic roots in Asia through to the Indians of North and South America, who traditionally used them to cleanse, harmonise and clear negative energies in the different energy fields in preparation for meditation and the state of trance. Even today, ear candling is thought by some to have profound metaphysical implications, drawing out bad energy. HOW EAR CANDLING IS THOUGHT TO WORK It is a non- invasive treatment which soothes, relieves and relaxes. In the partial vacuum created by the lit candle the gentle warmth of the smoke slowly sublimates the ear wax. Sublimation is the process whereby a solid substance changes directly to a vapour without first passing through the liquid state. The reverse process occurs upon cooling, hence ear wax being found in the ear candle residue. Quantities of powdery residue indicate a good seal was effected and that the ear was blocked. As the blockage is cleared through the use of ear candles the amount of powdery residue will reduce as will the amount of sublimated ear wax. Ear candling is taught as a valid ear cleaning procedure to medical students in Germany where some GP’ s use ear candles instead of syringing.
