Auricular Therapy

Auricular Therapy is based on the premise that the ear reflects the entire body, based on an upside down fetus. Points on the ear can be stimulated to help and treat areas on the body. The specific points can be stimulated by a needle, a blunt pointer, laser or a seed. At our Auricular therapy Hawkesbury retreat we have chosen to mainly use seeds for our Auricular therapy treatments. The seed has extra benefits as the client can have the seeds placed in clinic and then be able to stimulate the points several times a day for the next few days. The seeds will stay in place for 2 to 7 days.

Conditions treated at our Auricular therapy Hawkesbury retreat

We have a some valuable tools to help with weight loss, including auricular therapy. Injuries can be helped with auricular therapy, the injured point on the ear can have a seed placed on it to help aid in the rehabilitation process.

Our natural therapy for anti aging can also incorporate auricular therapy. Using our knowledge of the meridian system we will observe what meridians that may be effecting your appearance. Some of the meridians either start or end on your face or head. If your large intestine meridian is out of balance it may manifest as a poor skin quality, a spleen deficiency may result in sagging skin and a heart imbalance will show up as redness on the face. All of these points can be stimulated on the ear, helping you to achieve the best results in your specific treatment.

At our Auricular therapy Hawkesbury retreat, we use mainly the seed method and find it very helpful to treat stress, anxiety, pain and some addictions. We also use it to help with our oriental diagnosis, we will look for colour variations, scaly skin, lumps or indentations. For example if there was a colour variation in the area of the liver point on the ear, we would look deeper into the possibility that the liver may be out of balance or diseased and treat accordingly.

How Auricular therapy works

At least three nerves serve the external ear, these nerves are stimulated using auricular therapy in the Hawkesbury and are picked up by the brain. The effect can be pain relief or reduced anxiety for example. Studies are now proving that acupuncture of the ear and the body effect our hormones. The ear points connect with the brain and the brain then connects with the body part that has been stimulated using auricular therapy.

There has been a lot of research into the effectiveness of auricular therapy on addictions. It has been used successfully on addicts to help with withdrawals from drugs. Our Auricular therapy Hawkesbury retreat is a peaceful and supportive environment for our clients.
