Ear cone Otosan • Otosan Srl

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 buzzing, whistling, background noises, transmission loss and blocked-ear sensation.

It is recommended for adults and children, and especially for people working in dusty environments, for those suffering from excess earwax and 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.

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.

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.

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.
