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.
Your first treatment
Arrive early
Sip on your oat, banana and berry smoothie and relax in our spa facilities before your treatment. This is available with all auricular acupuncture sessions, prior to the treatment.
Consultation
The initial treatment incorporates a lengthy consultation & chat to check in with you and establish what you would like to focus on, along with an analysis of the ears.
Meditation
Treatments commence with QI (pronounced 'chee') Gong meditation. Setting the tone for the treatment it allows you to focus on how and what you are feeling and blocking out the outside world.
Acupuncture
You can opt to change into a fluffy white robe or remain clothed for your treatment. The acupuncture is performed on our luxurious heated water mattress treatment beds.
Massage
This is followed by a meditative massage for the scalp or feet with a trio of choice from Tribe517’s aromatherapy balms to elevate your experience.
