Auricular Acupuncture

Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of the auricle of the external ear for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other parts of the body. It is also known as ear acupuncture or auricular acupuncture when the stimulation is achieved by the insertion of acupuncture needles, whereas the term auriculotherapy often refers to electrical stimulation of the surface of ear reflex points.

Specific points on the ear can also be stimulated by manual pressure, referred to as auricular acupressure or ear reflexology. Acupuncture points on the ear can also be stimulated with magnets, and ear pellets.

What should I wear?
Acupuncture points used are usually located on the lower arms and legs, you only need to roll sleeves and trouser legs up, and you can relax and restore in full comfort and privacy.

What will happen?
We start with a chat about your individual concerns and aims, followed by gentle placement of needles. Once in place, you can relax in a peaceful environment, maybe have a little acu-snooze and enjoy a calming and restorative interval in your day.

Is acupuncture for me?
It’s usually an incredibly pleasant experience and offers your body a cue that it has the time and space to do some uninterrupted healing work while you are still and relaxed.
