Auriculotherapy

EAR YE, EAR YE! 👂🏻 (sorry, but sometimes we just need a good anatomy pun) We’re bringing you some info today on auriculotherapy. Not fertility, despite that cute babe. 👶🏻 Au-what? Auriculotherapy is ear acupuncture. The external and internal body parts and organs are represented on the ear in the shape of an inverted fetus shown in the second picture. Just like we can use the tongue as an indicator of symptoms and an aid in diagnosis, the ear also can reflect problems in parts of the body by increased tenderness or redness at the corresponding point. Amazing, right?

Auriculotherapy can be done with acupuncture needles, or with pressure in the form of tiny stick-on ear seeds. (nope they’re not piercings, just teeny seeds or balls, sometimes with some bling on top). What do ear seeds help with?

*Addiction

*Anxiety

*Depression

*Digestive Issues

*Fatigue

*Headaches

*Immunity

*Insomnia

*Pain

*Stress

*Trauma

*and sooooooo much more

Why do they work? The ear is treated as a microsystem within the larger system of the whole body. Ear seeds are a great quick and easy way to treat so many issues, without having to use needles, or if you don’t have time for a full acupuncture appointment. Drop in during office hours for some ear seed points to aid stress/anxiety/sleep. No appointment needed! $20 for Swarovski crystals.
