Ear therapies involve stimulating the microsystem of the ear using a variety of tools and options for full body benefits

How is it done?

The practitioner will place a tool of their choice to stimulate a specific area of the ear. It may be a temporary or a semi-permanent needle, seeds, magnets, crystals or others. One or more points may also be selected for bleeding, in which case a small poke is done in a specific location and the bleeding is properly addressed.

Depending on the choice, the patient may be asked to press on it a few times a day. Other than that, nothing else needs be done and life should resume as normal.

What does it treat?

Ear acupuncture can treat anything, from aches and pains to anxiety and PTSD. It can be used with treatment or post-treatment, stand alone or in combination.

What should I expect?

Some points may be slightly uncomfortable once you have something stimulating it. Usually, if it's really uncomfortable, you should just remove them. If bleeding was done, it may leave a small hematoma.

Did you know?

The ear microsystem was actually discovered by a French practitioner, but it is so effective that even the US military uses it and it is part of what's know as battlefield acupuncture (BFA).
