Auricular acupuncture is, quite simply, acupuncture done on the ear. Acupuncture is medically defined as: a practice of inserting fine needles through the skin at specific points especially to cure disease or relieve pain (as in surgery). The practice of auricular acupuncture involves the insertion of superfine needles into specific points on the body. Once inserted, the needles can be manipulated to stimulate the body for healing effects.

The practice of auricular acupuncture has received great attention in the western world and is now incorporated in to western-style medicinal practices, such as Chiropractors and Physiotherapists.

An auricular acupuncturist is familiar with roughly 200 acupuncture points that exists in the outer ear. It should be noted that auricular acupuncturists never insert needles into the auditory canal, that is the hole leading to the inner ear, an auricular acupuncturists workspace is the auricle, that is the outer ear.

As with all other forms of acupuncture, the acupuncture points found in the outer ear correspond to other locations in the body. By stimulating these points the acupuncture needle sends electrical impulse messages to the brain, which then stimulates other areas of the body. In this way auricular acupuncture can relieve pain in the joints, muscles, stimulate other organs and the brain itself. The outer ear is a particular rich source for these points, which explains the need for specialization in auricular acupuncture.


How does it work?

In the practice of acupuncture, when the brain chemistry is unstable (symptoms arise) you don’t treat the symptoms, you treat the cause of the problem. People go for acupuncture treatment with numbers of health concerns and conditions and these people feel flustered and quite often they have obsessive mindsets. By the end of the session, they’re relaxed, centered, calmed and feel refreshed with immediate effects that their health concerns or conditions are improving.


Who can have auricular acupuncture treatment?

Auricular acupuncture is extremely successful in the treatment of multiple health conditions and concerns. Many people go for auricular acupuncture treatment as a ‘’last resort’’ to serious and complex medical problems, and they find that auricular acupuncture can help them when other forms of treatment could not, for example; other professionals or pharmaceuticals. Auricular acupuncture is also far less expensive, the results are immediate, long lasting and there are no side effects.

Auricular acupuncture treats the whole person; body, mind and emotions.

Why is auricular acupuncture so unique?

The treatment will be successful even though the patient may lie or feel ashamed to speak about certain issues. Patients are able to see the health benefits and changes in spite their lack of trust in acupuncture. Patients with a lack of hope concerning their health issues can begin treatment at a realistic level and see immediate effects. Patients who have experienced trauma can easily enter treatment even though they are fearful. Patients can be treated before a diagnosis has been completed. Patients may go for other treatment whilst they are having auricular acupuncture treatment for a second opinion.


Why should people invest their health in auricular acupuncture treatment?

There is an effect along the continuum of health care. Acupuncture treats the whole person; body, mind and emotions. Acupuncture shows immediate and long-term effects opposite to other treatments that yield any immediate relief to the suffering as they promise future improvement. There are no side effects or adverse reactions to acupuncture treatment. The patients who are the ‘’hardest’’ to treat often show the best results. Pregnant, dually diagnosed and chronic patients may also be treated. Acupuncture compliments any other treatment the patient may be having whilst having acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is safe, no pain related nor is it syndrome or symptom related. There are no boundaries to what can be treated.
