A NATURAL PRODUCT
OTOSAN cones for ear care are made of 100% natural non-treated cotton,
wax and bees-wax.
The utilization of natural fibers offers great reliability and safety
during therapy. Bees-wax allows a slow and continuous combustion and with his great
emollient power helps soften the ear-wax. 
ANCIENT
ORIGIN
The ear cleansing and care cone has been known throughout the world
from time immemorial. It was discovered that a similar method was used in Bolivia. It was
also used by peoples who lived far apart such as the Hopi Indians and the Chinese, who
have always been very sensitive to natural remedies as well as in rural areas of Italy.
The ear cone was made from rolled tobacco or corn leaves.
EAR WAX AND PLUGS
Ear wax is a mixture of substances produced by the ear’s glands
duct in order to defend it against foreign bodies (dust, insect, …).When the
self-cleaning system of the ear no longer works perfectly, a plug of ear wax may form,
which if not removed, can cause problems, irritation and even the blocking of the ear
duct.
It can be the cause of reduced hearing, itchiness, whistling, buzzing,
and also of momentary loss of balance.
PREVENTIVE HYGIENE
According to a survey carried out in more than three hundred
doctor’s surgeries, it emerged that many people try to eliminate the
"wax-plug" with excessive cleaning or using violent methods, cleaning the ear
duct with rubber syringes, chemical-based spray, manually or with cotton buds.
These methods may be dangerous, as the wax maybe pressed further into
the ear duct, blocking it completely and risking damage to the extremely sensitive
membrane of the ear drum. This could open the way to the middle ear for bacteria which can
cause serious infection.
BENEFICIAL EFFECT
After the very first application, you will feel a general well-being
sensation and a healthy physical relaxation.
OTOSAN cone is not a drug and can replace neither medical treatments
nor drugs. It is a practical and useful hygienic practice which brings remarkable benefits
with no damages.
Especially recommended for eliminating water after showers, sea or
swimming pool bathes, for improving the ear cleaning and for re-balancing the auricular
pressure after air-flights, mountain stays, under-water diving, etc.
RECOMMENDED BY DOCTORS IN
(EUROPE)
In "Riza Psicosomatica" magazine in 1992 there was an article
which reported the result of a number of tests carried out by a group of doctors on the
use of the Otosan ear cone.
It emerged from this research that the cone may be efficacious in
certain pathological conditions of the ear and principally on two very frequent
complaints:
1) The obstruction of the ear duct due to wax:15 adults were tested.
They presented an abundance of ear wax, or the actual formation of a plug, and complained
of itchiness, difficulty in perceiving sounds, buzzing and hissing sounds. After the cone
had been applied all patient reported an immediate improvement of their symptoms and when
examined using an otoscope a decrease in wax could be observed.
2) Otalgia during Otitis: 15 schoolchildren suffering from otalgia who
had not taken pain-killers for at least six hours were considered.
Most of the children, reported a remarkable reduction in pain, after
only five minutes from the end of the treatment with the cone. At a test carried out two
hours later the pain had not returned.
As a result of these tests doctors have formed a positive judgement on
the use of the OTOSAN cone.
HOW IT WORKS
Cones produce their benefits for two reason:
The HEAT and the SMOKE, due to the combustion of the cone walls,
softly penetrates up to the tympanum membrane softening the ear-wax. It revitalizes the
acupuncture points, it stimulates the blood circulation and frees the clogged pores.
The SUCTION due to the warm air which rises creates a depression and
the consequent "CHIMNEY EFFECT", without trauma or pain, which is known in
physics as "Venturi effect". Wastes and noxious deposit inside the ear are often
visible on the wax wastes, condensed within the cone after the treatment.
GREAT SAFETY (Picture!)
OTOSAN ear cone care is provided with the following safety features:
- Protection DISC made of board covered with aluminum folio,
- Break-flame ring made of aluminum folio. An exclusive OTOSAN patent which stops the cone
combustion at the right depth, makes its utilization simpler, safer and more practical.
- "STOP-DROP" device. It is a new exclusive OTOSAN patent that increases the
suction effect and prevents any dripping into the ear.
The OTOSAN ear-care cone is in compliance with European norm CEE 93/42
regarding quality and safety.(Picture!)
