Auricular Therapy – also known as auricular therapy (ear acupuncture) – is a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the ears are a microsystem, meaning that the entire body is represented on the auricle (the outer portion of the ear) in a similar fashion to reflexology (zone therapy), and that the entire body can be treated by stimulation of the surface of the ear exclusively, using no needles. Relieve a myraid of health problems includingFever, Skin Disorders, general Pain, Back Problems, Circulatory Problems, Heart Disease, Stop Smoking, Loose Weight, Reduce Anxiety, Emotional Imbalances, Insomnia, Fatigue and other conditions.This session can be done with seeds, Acupressure or Essential Oils.
Auricular therapy, also known as ear seed therapy is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine which observes the ear as a microcosm of the body. Auricular therapy uses points of the ear, along with small round seeds, pellets, and/or magnets which are modestly taped on areas of the outer ear, which the
client may press over the course of 3-4 days as additional stimulation for the points.
Auricular Therapy is widely used for many conditions, including Emotional issues, addiction treatment, smoking cessation, mood disorders, obesity, pain, digestive issues, and much more. Some acupuncturists only treat the ear. This medical system emphasizes a holistic approach to medicine, an approach that treats the whole person. The acupuncture points found on the ear help to regulate the body’s internal organs, structures, and functions.
Auricular Therapy is one of the most important components of traditional Chinese acupuncture. It is a specialized form where the auricle (ear) is used to stimulate various organs and meridiansin the body. The ear represents a fetus in the womb but in an inverted position. It is a microcosm of the macrocosm: the ear represents the entire body.
How Does Auricular Therapy Work?
Based on extensive clinical research, there are three accepted theories which explain how auricular therapy works. The Homuncular Reflex Theory (Anatomical Model) shows that the map of the location of auricular points is in the shape of an inverted fetus. Message transfer between auricular points and related body parts has been found to be bi-directional.The Delta Reflex Theory (Lock & Key) shows that stimulation of body parts
causes a change in temperatre of the related auricular point, and vice versa. In short, the ‘key’ of auricular stimulation can open the ‘lock’ of the body’s stress and dis-ease.
