Definition:
Ear coning is a technique used by the ancient Atlanteans, Egyptians, Mayans and Tibetans. A hollow candle that tapers at one end fits into the ear. Ear waxing proponents claim that that when the opposite end is set to flame it creates a vacuum that cleanse residues out of the ear. However, there is no medical evidence to support ear candling as an effective treatment to remove wax from ears, and the practice carries risks of injury.
