HOW TO TRIM TO FIT YOUR EAR CANAL AND PROPERLY USE YOUR BEESWAX EAR CANDLE

1) Trim the tapered tip of the candle with sharp scissors to adjust it to your ear canal size. It should fit snugly in your ear canal and not touch your eardrum. When trimming the candle, first compare to the ear hole and trim so that there is only a small amount of the candle taper entering the ear opening. 

2) After you trim the candle it will be flatten by the scissors cutting the tip, so you must round out the tip to a circular hole.  A pair of clean sharp scissors are needed to perform this task.  You may need a toothpick to assist with the opening up of the hole. 

3) When the trimming is completed you then light the candle and place your finger over the hole which you just trimmed and hold for about 10 to 15 seconds to prime the cylinder of the candle with smoke.  Remove your finger after the time period and look for smoke coming out the trimmed tip.  When the smoke appears the candle is primed and ready to insert into the ear.  If the smoke does not appear it as not ready, you need to repeat the priming step until you see the smoke.  When the smoke appears then place the candle through the paper plate which is the guard while candling.  Then insert into the ear and twist slightly for a snug fit and watch for smoke.  If smoke appears there is a poor fit and powder residue will be the result.

4)  Relax your body and mind and think of the column of smoke as removing toxins from your body.

SIZE DOES MATTER: Everyone’s ear is different (size, shape and angle) and only way to address this issue is to have a trimmable tapered tip to accommodate small to large ear canals. For instance, large men would need more of the tip trimmed than an infant.  We did this at the request of a practitioner who said most candles on the market had too large of a hole and they did not work very well.  Many practitioners have told us the before finding our ear candles they had to buy from several different manufacturers because of the varying sizes of the hole of the candle to accommodate their customers ears.  That is why we developed the tapered tip. 

POOR FIT: A poor fit of the ear candle may be the reason people are not getting  positive results from candling. We have used this design successfully for over four years and as a result of the trimmable tapered tip, our customer’s comments tell us we have the best candles on the market because of this feature alone. Some customers said they never received any benefit from candling because the candles would not fit their ears properly.

SCISSORS HYGIENE:   The practitioner should have one pair of scissors for trimming the tapered tip and one pair of scissors for trimming the ash for hygiene reasons. The scissors used for trimming the ash becomes dull rather quickly and is contaminated. You should not use dull or dirty scissors for trimming the tapered tips which is inserted into the ear.

LAY OR SIT:  Most people lay down on their side to position the ear candle. When coning in this position the candle should be at no more than a 60 degree angle so melting wax won’t drop straight onto the eardrum. If you are coning in the sitting position, place the candle in about a 0-30 degree angle. This produces more pressure than if the candle was truly vertical. This is a comfortable position and prevents melting wax from touching the delicate membrane. Also, in the sitting position, the candle rarely get blocked (by wax and ash), and when the tip is trimmed properly the likelihood of getting the blockage is rare. More and more home practitioners report the sitting position as the safest and produces the desired results.

YELLOW POWDER:  The powder is one of the major complaint or problem people have about candling. This is because the air is being sucked in due to a poor fit to their personal size ear canal opening.  It is important to have the perfect fit for each person’s ear canal opening if you don’t trim the tip properly you will continue having the  powder problems.  Our candles are designed to be trimmed so the user has a proper ear canal fit.

INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO USE YOUR BEESWAX EAR CANDLES:  Pure & Natural Ear Candles, a paper or aluminum pie plate, two pair of sharp flat scissors, matches, a small bowl of water (cover bowl with foil for easy disposal of waste), a pillow and a person to assist.

Coning, A Centuries-old Home Remedy Hand washing should be observed before, during, and after each coning session to guard against infection from germs, virus, or fungus that might be present. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for each candle used, adults use a minimum of two candles per ear per session.

Have the person being candled lie on their side with a pillow under the person’s head for comfort and to bring the head up even with the shoulder, allowing the ear to be as level as possible. Cover the person’s hair and shoulder for protection from the fire, dripping wax with a cloth, towel, or fire retardant covering (like aluminum foil), leaving the ear exposed.

Trim the tip of the cone to fit the opening of the ear Look into the person's ear to determine the size of the opening. Trim the tip of the candle to match the size of the opening to insure a good seal when the candle is inserted into the ear. Using your fingers, make the hole round again.
cut an X in the paper plate Using sharp scissors cut an X in the paper plate, big enough to insert the candle snugly. Insert the small end of the candle through the face guard (paper plate) and light the large end of the candle.
prime the smoke through the tube Before inserting the candle into the ear, prime the smoke through the tube by placing your finger on the tapered end for about 10 seconds.
when you see smoke the cone is ready for insertion When you see smoke coming from the small end of the candle it is ready for insertion.

Gently but firmly place the small end of the candle into the ear opening. Make sure it is well seated in the ear by gently twisting or turning the candle. If you see smoke around the ear hole, the candle is not well seated. Adjust candle until a good seal is established. When the candle is not well sealed, air gets in creating a powdery residue on the inside of the candle, do not be alarmed, it simply means you do not have a proper seal. Use a gentle twisting or turning motion to gently place the candle into the ear opening.

Most people find the procedure very relaxing since there should is no pain or discomfort at any time during the coning process. If the person finds it uncomfortable, stop immediately. The person being candled will hear constant crackling sounds of the fire during the coning process.

Cut the burnt ash halfway between the flame and the burnt end As the candle burns the beeswax and cotton cloth, the ash will curl inward and it must be cut off to keep the candle open at the top. Cut the burnt material halfway between the flame and the burnt end. Open the scissors wide, cut and lift up; then put the ash into the bowl of water.

The flame may appear to burn higher at times while the candle is burning the flame itself can go up from 2 to 6 inches while there is wax or debris being pulled.

extinguish the cone in water Allow the candle to burn down to about 3-4 inches above the plate guard. Remove the candle and the plate with both hands. Pull the candle carefully from the plate and snuff out the fire by dipping the end of the candle into the bowl of water. DO NOT snuff the candle out while it is the person’s ear. Blowing the candle out creates more smoke and some flying ashes, so extinguish the candle in water.

To open and view the remains, use sharp scissors to cut the candle vertically. The remains will consist of earwax, beeswax, possibly infection and/or other debris. If the person wishes to keep their coning remains, secure them in a small plastic ziplock bag. Use caution when handling the remains, as they may be infectious.

After both ears have been done, wipe out the outer ear with a moist towel or use glycerin on a cotton swab and gently cleanse the inner surface of the outer ear. Cotton should be worn in the ears to protect from wind and debris until the ear can regenerate a new wax coating, about a day is sufficient. You may also use some glycerin or ear oil on the cotton balls. If working outdoors, especially in wind, protection is highly  recommended.

Remember, ear coning is a home remedy and is not a cure for any disease or specific ailment. Coning is not designed to take the place of professional medical advice or treatment when it is indicated. It's important to note that some people should not use candles. For instance, people who have had ear, nose, throat or sinus surgery recently, and those with tubes in the ears are not candidates for coning. Anyone with ear drum rupture, perforation, or experiencing bleeding of the ear, should see a doctor as this indicates a more serious ear problem than coning can address. As with all home remedies, anyone using ear candles must assume full responsibility for their use and should always follow the manufacturers instructions.
