Auricular Acupuncture
 |
What is Auricular Acupuncture and
How Does it Work?
Simply explained, Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture is a specialised
complementary therapy where acupuncture points on the outer ear are
treated to help relieve many chronic complaints, e.g Anxiety,
Arthritis, Asthma, Back Pain, Depression, Drug Addiction, Hay
Fever, Insomnia, Migraine, Obesity, PMS, Sciatica, Sinusitis,
Stopping Smoking, etc. There are over 200 acupuncture points on the
outer ear, each point named generally after areas of the anatomy,
e.g knees, hips, shoulders, liver heart etc. The outer ear acts
similar to a switchboard to the brain, and when acupoints on the
ear are stimulated, they trigger electrical impulses to the
specific area of the body that is being treated. |

Auricular acupuncture is a
variation of body acupuncture-using acupuncture points on the
ear.
Very small seeds are taped to the
surface of the ear. When the body is not well, the reaction can
sometimes be detected by changes to the ear surface (changes to
colour, texture and sensitivity).
Ear acupuncture is based on the
theory that there are connections between the organs of the body
and zones of the ear.
Over 2000 years ago, auricular
acupuncture was described in Chinese books on internal medicine for
the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. In 1958, Dr. Paul
Nogier further developed this form of acupuncture and his ear
charts were translated into Chinese.
