Auricular Therapy is the treatment of the mind and body through the use of acupuncture or acupressure on the external ear. By stimulating specific points on the ear, this therapy works to relax the mind and encourage your body’s natural healing process! This safe and simple therapy is applied easily to the external ear after which a client is allowed to rest for a period of 30-45 minutes.
This is an amazing therapy for people who want to approach their mental and physical well-being in a more holistic way. Auricular Therapy is a commonly utilized therapy in the holistic health world and our acupuncturist’s have been integrating this element into their treatment plans to successfully help their clients! Working through the nerves that connect in the external ear, Auricular therapy has a strong effect on the mind and body. In this way auricular therapy can be used to effectively treat a number of conditions including: stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, PTSD, pain, and some eating disorders.
Talk with your counselor or meet with our acupuncturist to see if this may be a good therapy for you to try!
