What is Auricular Acupuncture?

Ear Acupuncture has its origins in china and dates back over 2000 years, however much of the medical discoveries of it can be attributed to Europe and the United States. Much research has been carried out and to date there are over 200 known acupoints on the outer ear.

Ear Acupuncture is based on several theories including the physiological understanding of Western Medicine and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

How Auricular Acupuncture works.

When an acupuncture point is tonified (+ positive) or sedated (- negative) either by a needle or an electrical acupunctoscope, electrical impulses are transmitted to the brain via the ears. Once treated the brain sifts and sorts out the impulses and transmits them to the targeted anatomical area.

For example if the Liver point is treated, the Liver is treated or if the Shoulder point on the ear is treated, the shoulder is treated. Please note, however, Auricular acupuncture will only offer a therapeutic effect on the Liver/ Shoulder, no harmful effects will be created if they are functioning correctly.

Press needles or magnets can be left in the ear for a few days for added stimulation.

At the first treatment a full consultation will be taken to ensure the best possible treatment is given.

As with any Therapy, a course of treatments is recommended.
