Auricular Acupuncture
A precise and accessible method that uses the ear’s microsystem to support whole-body balance, stress relief, and pain management.
What Is Auricular Acupuncture?
Auricular acupuncture is a specialized form of care that targets reflex points on the outer ear, corresponding to various organs, muscles, and systems in the body. It’s based on the concept that the ear reflects a complete map of the human body. By stimulating specific ear points, we can influence systemic function, emotional regulation, and physical discomfort in a highly focused way.
Why Use the Ear?
The ear’s connection to the brain and nervous system allows for fast, responsive changes in pain sensitivity, muscle tone, and emotional state. Auricular acupuncture is often used in:
-
Stress management and emotional regulation
-
Headache, jaw tension, and neck pain
-
Detoxification protocols and addiction recovery
-
Digestive discomfort and appetite regulation
-
Post-traumatic care and sleep issues
Gentle and Adaptable
Treatments are typically short (20–30 minutes) and can be done seated. Because the therapy targets the ear only, it’s ideal for patients who prefer not to lie down or are sensitive to full-body acupuncture. We also offer ear seed therapy, which involves placing tiny pressure seeds on ear points for ongoing, take-home stimulation.
