Otosan Ear Cone arose from the rediscovery of a traditional ear hygiene method, called auricular thermotherapy, a gentle technique with ancient origins. Enhanced with innovative safety and comfort devices, the Otosan Ear Cone is a natural, practical, safe, and effective device, which, through beneficial heat and a chimney effect, helps to eliminate impurities and excess earwax from the ear.

What is it?

Otosan Ear Cone, therefore, helps to prevent the build-up of wax plugs and supports their removal, contributing in this way to restoring ear pressure, for example, after spending time in the mountains, flying, or scuba diving.

Its purifying effect helps to solve hearing conditions such as buzzingwhistlingbackground noisestransmission loss, and blocked-ear sensation.

It is recommended for adults and children, especially for people working in dusty environments, for those suffering from excess earwax, and for people who use external hearing aids. It also helps to eliminate any residual water in the ear canal after swimming in the sea or a pool.

Today, with the addition of propolis, Otosan Ear Cone develops an efficient protective action for the ears since the heat created regenerates local blood flow, providing a feeling of well-being and general physical relaxation.

History

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 the 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.

How to use

1) Insert the narrower part of the ear cone one centimetre into the Comfy applicator. Make sure that the other Comfy applicator is not inside the ear cone.

2) Insert the ear cone into the protective disc (with the silver part facing upwards) until beneath the flame-breaking ring. Light the wider end of the ear cone.

3) Rest your head on a table and insert the ear cone with the Comfy applicator over your outer ear, keeping it in a vertical position.

4) When the flame has burnt down the ear cone to the Flame-breaking ring, take it out of the ear and extinguish it in a glass of water. Repeat this treatment in the other ear.

Prior to use, please carefully read the warnings and instructions for use included in the box.

Safety

Consumer protection is one of our most important values. This is why our ear cones are equipped with four protective devices so that they can be used safely.

  • The Flame-breaking Ring - automatically extinguishes the flame and shows the correct lighting area so that treatment may be interrupted, making it easier, safer, and more practical to use.
  • The Protective Disc - applied to the base of the Otosan ear cone, protects the ear and the head during the entire treatment.
  • The Stop-Drop Device -inserted inside the Otosan ear cone, acts as a drop-stop valve that prevents any melted wax or other combustion residues from entering the ear canal.
  • 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.
