Auricular Therapy
Auricular therapy, also referred to as Ear Reflexology, is a holistic and non-invasive approach to improving one's health. Auricular therapy is founded on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. Ear acupuncture, the most popular form of this therapy, has been used for thousands of years in both China and Egypt.
The ear is a perfect microcosm of the whole body. In the small space of the ear, we can observe the reflection of an inverted fetus with all parts of the body perfectly represented. Instead of acupuncture needles, an ear reflexologist uses gentle finger pressure on the zones of the ear, activating the meridians and regulating qi energy. It is a calming treatment and is beneficial for the whole body.
Practitioners may also use ear taping, applying small pellets to specific points on the ear so that there will be continuous pressure, similar to acupuncture needles.
