Benefits of Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture
Auricular acupuncture, also known as ear acupuncture, is a specialized form of acupuncture that involves stimulating specific points on the ear to treat health conditions throughout the body. It’s based on the idea that the ear is a microsystem—a map of the entire body.
How It Works
The ear is believed to reflect the whole body, kind of like reflexology for the foot.
Specific points on the ear correspond to organs, systems, or body parts.
Practitioners insert tiny, sterile needles or use seeds, beads, or electrical stimulation on those points to create healing effects.
