Details
Ear candles are typically about 10 inches long, hollow, and tapered. A person lights them at their widest end.
They are usually made of fabric soaked in wax or a mixture of substances, often paraffin and beeswax.
To perform ear candling, a person will lie on their side and insert a candle into the ear. Usually, a square or circle made of paper, tin foil, or plastic acts as a cover to prevent hot wax from dripping onto the face, neck, or hair.
Once the candle and covering are secure, a person will light the candle for 10–20 minutes. Wax does not go into the ear during this process.
Other names for ear candling include:
Ear or auricular coning
Thermal- or thermo-auricular therapy
Candle or coning therapy
