​​Auricular Acupuncture

Auricular acupuncture is a form of acupuncture that focuses exclusively on the outer ear, also known as the auricle. It is based on the idea that the ear is a "microsystem" that reflects the entire body, and that specific points on the ear correspond to various organs, body parts, and physiological functions. This concept is similar to reflexology, which uses the feet as a map of the body.

​​

How It Works

I use auricular acupuncture needles and insert into specific points on the ear. The stimulation of these points is believed to send signals through the nervous system to the brain, which then influences the corresponding parts of the body. 

Auricular acupuncture is often used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with traditional body acupuncture. 

 

Conditions Treated​

Auricular acupuncture has been used to treat a wide range of conditions, and research has shown promising results for:

• Pain management

• Addiction and substance abuse

• Anxiety, stress

• Insomnia

• Other conditions: It has been explored for its potential benefits in treating migraines, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other health issues.​
