      I've been coning/candling since 1992 and here is some in depth information. You are not getting ear wax out of the candle when you cone. The wax comes from the candle itself. When the candle burns, some of the wax becomes powdery smoke which spirals down into the eustachian tube. The sticky smoke flows down into the ear (by candle design) and picks ups the eustachian ash which is part of the debris filtered out of the blood by the lymph system and ....read the rest @ www.coningcompany.com.
