About ESCURETTE

The National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Studies (INRAP) sheds light on the history of the earpick. In bone, pewter, lead or even ivory, traces have been found since Antiquity. In Gallo-Roman times, toiletries then included tweezers, toothpicks and bronze earpicks.

In the Middle Ages, it was said that "every well-organized woman had her fourgeoire, containing the escurette (earpick), the furgette (nailpick) and the fusequoir (toothpick)". We then say that we escurate (vb. Escurate) the ear. It was present in most homes until the 1960s.

In Japan, ear cleaning called "mimikaki" (mimi: ear, persimmon: to clean) is an ancestral family process. As in India, this method is developing to become an undisputed professional practice: we then find ear curators in institutes and even in the streets.

Abandoned in favor of the cotton swab in the 1960s (the effects of the consumer society ...), the earpick has been used for all time by health professionals.

Its effectiveness is well established: Escurette, the historic zero plastic method.
L’Institut National des Etudes Archéologiques Préventives (INRAP) nous éclaire sur l’histoire du cure-oreille. En os, étain, plomb ou encore ivoire, on trouve trace dès l’Antiquité. A l’époque Gallo-Romaine, les nécessaires de toilettes comprenaient alors pince à épiler, cure-dent et cure-oreille en bronze.

Au Moyen-Age, on disait que “toute femme bien organisée possédait sa fourgeoire, contenant l’escurette (cure-oreille), la furgette (cure-ongle) et le fusequoir (cure-dent)”. On dit alors que l’on escure (vb. escurer) l’oreille. Il est présent dans la majorité des foyers jusque dans les années 60.

Au Japon, le curage d’oreilles appelé “mimikaki” (mimi : oreille, kaki : nettoyer) est un procédé familial ancestral. Tout comme en Inde, cette méthode se développe pour devenir une pratique professionnelle incontestée : on trouve alors des cureurs d’oreilles en instituts voire même dans les rues.

Délaissé au profit du coton-tige dans les années 60 (les effets de la société de consommation…), le cure-oreille est pourtant utilisé depuis tout temps par les professionnels de la santé.

Son efficacité n’est plus à démontrer : Escurette, la méthode historique zéro plastique.
