The ear candle has an ancient history and its rediscovery is closely linked to ethnomedicine, a discipline that helps us to restore the effectiveness of many natural methods, as well as the awareness of an inevitable harmonious relationship between humans and medicine and the belief that a general psychophysical balance is necessary.

In fact, ethnomedicine is based on a holistic view of individuals, which embraces the mind, body and social being, and analyses health, well-being and healing from the point of view of other cultures that cherish age-old knowledge.

For this reason, ethnomedicine studies communities where an ancient popular tradition of care is still intact and which regularly resort to collective rituals and natural remedies.

Among these is the ear cone, also called ear candle, which has existed for thousands of years in many parts of the world. It was used among many ancient civilisations, such as the Aztecs, the Greeks, the Romans, the ancient Egyptians and other populations, not only for ear hygiene but also for spiritual purification.

 In addition to waxed fabrics, linen, cotton or hemp, the ear cone was also made with rolled tobacco or corn leaves. In Egypt, the reeds of the Nile were used with pressed mud to create protection around the ear. The candle was also widely used in Italy, especially in the rural regions of Romagna, Veneto and Sicily.

At Otosan, we have rediscovered and enhanced this ancient technique in order to offer an effective treatment for ear health and general well-being. By acting indirectly also on the points used in acupuncture, the ear cone contributes to creating a sensation of total relaxation, as can be perceived after treatment.

The Comfy applicator is the exclusive patented device, which makes this treatment extremely comfortable and also guarantees maximum treatment effectiveness and safety.

It fits to the walls of the ear, making the treatment more gentle and pleasant. In addition, the applicator increases ear cone safety, since it ensures correct positioning at the right depth in the ear canal.

Finally, the device reduces the entrance hole, thus concentrating the effect and increasing treatment effectiveness.
