So what is auricular acupuncture and what to expect?
Auricular acupuncture is acupuncture of the ear, it is a complimentary therapy that can be accumulative and each session provides a sense of ‘wellbeing’ which leads to a high state of relaxation and calm. It is both safe, simple and incredibly effective for many health concerns including the following:
Chronic pain, digestive issues, breathing and lung issues, stress and anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction, muscular or sports-related issues, allergies and skin-related issues, reproductive and menopausal concerns as well as general well-being.
Each needle is single use and pre-sterilized, they cause minimal pain and discomfort, after a few minutes you may even forget they're there! Occasionally there can be slight bleeding or bruising, this is nothing to worry about and subsides quickly.
Treatments with the needles last between 30 and 45 minutes targeting the energy QI (pronounced chee), which flows around the body along pathways, also known as ‘meridians’. Stimulating points in the ears activates the body’s defence to restore balance.
As auricular acupuncture is a complimentary therapy, for best results we would recommend a course of six or more treatments.
The first treatment is a longer 90-minute treatment, further treatments will then be 60 minutes.
